Totally weird. I just realized that the percentage sign makes a
difference in whether it compiles or not (as soon as I remove the
percentage sign it starts working). I added the percentage sign since
that was the only way to prevent unwanted vertical space. (I'm not
sure what adds it.)

\definelayer[paper][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\startbuffer[abstract]% <- this '%' is problematic
\startsimplecolumns
\input tufte

\input tufte
\stopsimplecolumns
\stopbuffer

\setlayerframed[paper]
        [voffset=1cm]
        [width=0.9\paperwidth]
        {\getbuffer[abstract]}

\starttext

abc

\stoptext

It's ok here with and without the % sign

\definelayer[paper][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\starttext

\startbuffer[abstract]%
\startsimplecolumns
\input tufte

\input tufte
\stopsimplecolumns
\stopbuffer

\setlayerframed[paper]
        [voffset=1cm]
        [width=0.9\paperwidth]
        {\getbuffer[abstract]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=paper]




abc

\stoptext
