Can you create a minimal example showing what you are trying to do? The 
following example is a bit confusing (where is \MPstring{Content} set? Why 
use framedtext instead of framed? What is \framed[fit] supposed to do? 
etc).

You could also use

    draw OverlayBox withpen ...

You can try \framed[strut=no]{...} and add 
\setupframedtext[...][offset=overlay]. See 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupframed for details.
