in page-imp, patch:

                      \hfil}%
                   \hfilneg}
                \vfil}%
            \vfilneg}%
         \pagina %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  add this

         \ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipn \exitloop\fi}
    \else
      \doloop
        {\startbaselinecorrection


If you run your code with:

\startsetups[verydirtytrick]

   \doglobal\increment\DirtyTrickCounter

   \ifodd\realpageno\relax
     \ifodd\DirtyTrickCounter
       \hbox to \overlaywidth{1{\hskip0mm}\foregroundbox1}
     \else
       \hbox to \overlaywidth{2{\hskip-1.3cm}\foregroundbox2}
     \fi
   \else
     \ifodd\DirtyTrickCounter
       \hbox to \overlaywidth{3{\hskip10mm}\foregroundbox3}
     \else
       \hbox to \overlaywidth{4{\hskip-0.3cm}\foregroundbox4}
     \fi
   \fi

\stopsetups

you can see that some branches are never entered, which is due to the fact 
that we're dealing with a sequence of \vbox's and you decide on \realpago 
whil ethe previous one is not yet flushed (i.e. fits on the page so tex 
will issue a page break when something new is added, with the new being the 
wrong calculated thing).
