It still is weird. It sometimes work (but not completely) and sometimes not. For instance

\definepapersize[a3landscape][A3,landscape]
\definepapersize[a4portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[a3landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\stoptext

foo.pdf is a 18.43x13.88 inch PDF image
The end result is a 16.54x16.54 inch PDF image with the embedded image cropped.
