If I use \page[last] with arranging, ConTeXt inserts additional pages and the page that’s meant to be last is not:
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging[2UP]
\starttext
\chapter{One}
\input tufte
\chapter{Two}
\input tufte
\page[last]
\chapter{Last}
\input tufte
\stoptext
(Workaround: make a not-arranged PDF and arrange \copypages)

With \page[last] can fill your document with empty pages to fill the missing pages which are needed for a certain imposition method but you have to use it at the *end* of the document in *not in* the document.

I understood it as "forward to last page" and need it to place some information on the back page of the booklet.
That works as long as I don’t impose (arrange).
What would you suggest to put something onto the last (i.e. back) page?

The wiki has a trick, but I think it stopped working at some stage -
maybe somebody can fix it (if it is broken):
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition#Getting_the_last_page_of_a_Booklet
(Obviously we aren't the only ones with this problem...)

I use the following code (luatex only).
\startusercode
function fillsignature(pages)
-- skip the cover
pages = pages - 2
local originalpages = pages
--set needed pages to 0
local neededpages = 0
local modulo = pages % 4
if modulo ~= 0 then
neededpages = 4 - modulo
end
if neededpages ~= 0 then
global.texio.write_nl('term and log', "Here I added " .. neededpages .. " pages")
tex.print("\\dorecurse{" .. neededpages .. "}{\\page[empty]}")
else
global.texio.write_nl('No page needed!')
end
end
\stopusercode
\define[1]\fillthesignature{
\usercode{fillsignature(#1)}}
\define\bookletclosing{
\fillthesignature{\the\realpageno}
\page[empty]}
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging[2UP]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{
\input knuth
\page[yes]
\input knuth
}
\bookletclosing
This is the last page
\stoptext
Best wishes
