This test file
==================================================
\setuplayout[leftmargindistance=0.125in,
leftmargin=0.625in,
width=4.75in,
rightmargindistance=0.25in,
rightmargin=0.25in]
\setuphead[section][alternative=inmargin]
\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse{6}{\section{Blah}
\input tufte
}
\stoptext
==================================================
asks for section numbers in the left margin, separated from the section
title by the leftmargindistance. It works fine for the first four
sections. But sections 5 and 6 (on page 2) have the section number
shifted further left from the correct position by roughly 10pt or so.
It seems very sensitive to the layout. If I change the
leftmargindistance to 0.25in, the section numbers are all placed
correctly.
I noticed the problem on my default context version:
ConTeXt ver: 2013.05.28 00:36 MKIV current [from the Debian TL2013 pkgs]
It also happens with the live ConTeXt and with vanilla TL2013. (Though
it works fine with MKII.)
Is this a bug, or just a change in setuphead that I didn't take account of?

It is a bug. ConTeXt sometimes uses the rightmargindistance for the
left margin, which would be correct for a double sided layout, but
is definitely wrong for a single sided document. However, even in a
double sided layout the calculations are not correct. Here a smaller
example. Note that the output is wrong either way, with
\setuppagenumbering commented out or not.
%% \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout[rightmargindistance=1cm]
\setuphead[section][alternative=inmargin]
\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse{16}{\section{Blah}
\input tufte}
\stoptext
