I have the following file:

\setupfloat[table][default=nonumber]

\starttext
\section[title={Tables without force}]

Here is a table without a caption, unforced.

\startplacetable[location=none]
  \bTABLE
  \bTR\bTD r1c1 \eTD\bTD r1c2\eTD\eTR
  \bTR\bTD r2c1 \eTD\bTD r2c2\eTD\eTR
  \eTABLE
\stopplacetable

Here is a table with a caption, unforced.

\startplacetable[title={Table With A Caption}]
  \bTABLE
  \bTR\bTD r1c1 \eTD\bTD r1c2\eTD\eTR
  \bTR\bTD r2c1 \eTD\bTD r2c2\eTD\eTR
  \eTABLE
\stopplacetable

This is after the table with a caption.

\stoptext


The second pair of tables have force added.
Here is what I get:

Why does the last table have "Table 1", when there is a
\setupfloat[table][default=nonumber]?
