It does also depend on the width of the text because when I use 48pt in the example below
the height of the brace is always the same but with 49pt the height increases after the first page.

\starttext

\dorecurse{100}
  {\startformula
   \mathord
     {%\setbox\scratchbox\mathstylehbox{\Umathaccent\fam\zerocount"FE3DF{\hskip48pt}}%
      \setbox\scratchbox\mathstylehbox{\Umathaccent\fam\zerocount"FE3DF{\hskip49pt}}%
      \the\userpageno:\the\ht\scratchbox}%
   \stopformula}
