I don't think that is the case.
I first stumbled across this in a single-sided document and after giving it another look, it does not seems like it's overlowing in the left margin, the same way it does to the right margin before the split, but rather being centered, overvflowing the same amount on both sides.

You can see this on live.contextgarden.net with the following example:

```
\showframe

\startplacetable[align=left,location={split},title={test}]
\bTABLE[option=stretch,split=yes,textwidth=\dimexpr\textwidth+\rightmarginwidth+\rightmargindistance\relax]
\dorecurse{100}{
      \bTR
        \bTD Cell 1 \eTD
        \bTD Cell 2 \eTD
        \bTD Cell 3 \eTD
      \eTR
    }
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
```

> 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).
