If your document is set up as double-sided
(\setuplayout[alternative=doublesided] or similar) then I think this is the
expected behaviour, since the margins flip on odd and even pages. You could
set up as single-sided to prevent this but you may be relying on the
double-sided setup for other things (page numbers, headers and footers for
example).
