1. To create a new framed-instance you need \defineframe, \setupframed
isn't enough to set the values.
I guess you assumed this works similar to xtables but this mechanism
sets a few values to assure \setupxtable is enough in certain cases but
even here you need \definextable in certain cases.
When you create a new instance you have to use the name of the new
instance as command name, e.g. \frameletter or use the \placeframed
command which takes the name as argument, e.g. \placeframed[frameletter].
2. You can't pass the name of a framed-instance to \framed (backwards
compatibility, performance ...), this is only possible with \startframed.
3. ConTeXt uses different mechanism to draw rectangular (unless you draw
a closed frame) and rounded frame and the mechanism for rounded frames
doesn't work with outlinetext.
4. To achieve the desired result you can now a) use MetaPost to draw the
complete card (letter plus frame) or b) use only TeX to put the letter
in a frame and rotate it.
%%%% begin tex example
\usecolors[svg]
\defineframed
[frameletter]
[width=1.25em,
height=1.75em,
foregroundstyle=\ssbfc,
corner=round,
radius=0.1\bodyfontsize,
rulethickness=1pt]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=\linewidth]
\dontleavehmode
\rotate [rotation=5] {\color[darkred] {\frameletter{A}}}
\rotate [rotation=-5]{\color[green] {\frameletter{L}}}
\rotate [rotation=5] {\color[mediumblue]{\frameletter{E}}}
\rotate [rotation=-5]{\color[darkviolet]{\frameletter{A}}}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
%%%% end tex example
