Hi,

I have had similar problems with such side effects in my projects.

My question is where can read up on  side effects. On the wiki and
in the manuals side effects are not listed. 

It would be nice to read up on the side effects so that one can try to avoid them
or find a work around instead of trying to guess what is going on!

regards
Keith.

that's because now you have a hbox

anyway, i uploaded a beta with a fix but still, keep in mind that you need to avoid empty lines:

\startTEXpage[offset=0.5ex,align={lohi,middle}]
   \bTABLE[frame=off,loffset=1ex,roffset=1ex,align={middle,lohi}]
      \bTR
        \bTD  A \eTD
        \bTD B \eTD
        \bTD C \eTD
      \eTR
   \eTABLE
   \blank[line]
   \bTABLE[frame=off,loffset=1ex,roffset=1ex,align={middle,lohi}]
      \bTR
        \bTD D \eTD
        \bTD E \eTD
        \bTD F \eTD
      \eTR
   \eTABLE
\stopTEXpage

as a \noindent is injected at the beginning and that has the side effect of an empty line then forcing width of hsize
