There are some nice examples in the context manual. Different layout
settings and how the typeset page looks. Also try the t-layout package by
Patrick. It helped me a lot to see how the layout will look like.

I know, there are workarounds, but I prefer to create A5 pages and then impose them using nice Acrobat plugin.

What is wrong with
\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
...
\stoptext

\setuppapersize is not meant for doubleside layout

You can also create a second document and impose your booklet in this
document, I can send such a file from me.

Hi Vyatcheslav
Humble I am not yet using Luatex...
Still, the problem with not processing references coud be related to
the utility files. If you process a document with \setuparranging
more than once, you loose the correct information in those files.
If you want to produce a booklet you could say
\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
%\setuparranging[2UP]
\starttext
...
\stoptext
Run texexex with the arranging switched off.
Run texexec once with the arranging switched on.
