Hm, paper and page keys work neither in \setuplayout (as shown in wiki  
example for \setuppaper) nor in \setuppaper.
They seem to get ignored in the first case (no effect, AFAICS) and  
give an error in the latter:

This is my test file:

\setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on],page=a7,paper={a4,landscape}]

\stoptext

It works, if I uncomment \setuppapersize and delete the last two  
parameters of \setuppaper.
Unfortunately it works only with my small test file, not with my  
actual project - I’m still investigating...
