writetolist causes mystery blank

writetolist causes mystery blank

[Michael Murphy]

Hi all,

I'm having a but of a problem using writetolist. In principle, I want to 
insert something into the table of contents, but I don't want to disturb 
the flow of the text. Unfortunately, the following code seems to 
generate a blank at the top of the page:

\showframe
\showmakeup

\starttext
\writetolist[section]{}{}%
\framed{This box has been pushed down}
\stoptext

I've also tried using a section command where the output has been set to 
empty:

\showframe
\showmakeup

\setuphead[section][
   before=,
   after=,
   command=\mydonothing]

\def\mydonothing#1#2{}

\starttext
\section{}%
\framed{This box has been pushed down}
\stoptext

but that also gets me a blank. Incidentally, the same thing happens with 
writebetweenlist, (except that this seems to sometimes push content onto 
a new page for some reason).

Any ideas?

It looks like it only happens on mkiv.
