tekst before \starttext?

tekst before \starttext?

I thought that typesetting should start after \startext and that anything before it should be ignored.
That is indeed the case with the following input:

ABC
\starttext
CONTENT
\stoptext

But add a \setupbodyfont and suddenly the ABC appears:

\setupbodyfont[lmodern]
ABC
\starttext
CONTENT
\stoptext

Is this correct behaviour?
It is a nuisance because this phenomenon causes a spurious blank page appears in my book.
It might be a recently introduced because I did not experience this in the past.

There appears nothing in the first case because context delays font loading until \starttext
but when you add \setupbodyfont a font is loaded and text is no visible.

When you something in your document before \starttext which creates a blank page
something is wrong with a macro and you put something there which shouldn’t be there.
