Sorry, missed the inclusion of the output of the minimal example.

In the ConTeXT manual I see that a construct
\framed{A\\B\\C} should type set as three lines below each other:

A
B
C

But instead the \\'s disappear without a trace.
Did I miss some change on the use of \\'s in \framed?
Could it be a sideeffect of recent changes?
