But the frame from setlayerframed has not the measures of the text,
to get the correct size you need textbackground.

\definelayer[test][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test]
\starttext
\startbuffer[test]
\hsize=12cm
\startsimplecolumns
\input zapf
\stopsimplecolumns
\stopbuffer
\setlayerframed
[test]
[x=5cm,y=10cm]
[width=12cm]
{\getbuffer[test]}
\page[empty]
\stoptext
> Also, can I force the streamlayer to have a fixed height? In the example I'd like the first column to be filled all the way down to the visible bottom frame and then the remaining text should be broken to the second column. At the moment both columns are filled with roughly equal amounts of text...
You can set \textheight in the streamlayer settings and disable the balancing for columns.
