I have almost no answers, but perhaps my reply will trigger someone
else to respond.

A nested \framed + \strut will do the trick:

\framed{\startinterstrutline
   \framed[align={r2l,middle}]
      {\strut This is some interstrutline text}\stopinterstrutline}

no idea

Add a \vfill before hte \stopinterstrutline

again, no idea.

\showgrid works for me (ver: 2009.09.28 09:02 MKIV)

And you may want \setuplayout[grid=tolerant], dunno.

I don't know, but you could wrap the \framed in a shorthand definition
macro:

   \definecomplexorsimpleempty\Myframed
   \def\Myframed[#1]#2{\framed[#1]{\startinterstrutline
        #2\stopinterstrutline}}
