For the \framed command, any value for the key align other than a null value pushes the frame beyond the bottom margin on a landscape page for many values of orientation. The following MWE demonstrates this:
\setuppapersize [A4,landscape]
\starttext
  \framed[orientation=90,align=no]{\externalfigure[dummy]}
\stoptext
It also seems that the default value of align is not no as the wiki suggests, since there is a very different result when no align key is provided and when it is provided as above with no, if by a default value one means that, when a given key is not explicitly provided, processing will occur as if it had been provided with that particular value.
