Confirmed.

The proper interface is
\usemodule[pstricks]
\usePSTRICKSmodule[pst-add]
\usePSTRICKSmodule[pst-spectra]
When you run the above file, ConTeXt creates the following temp file:
\starttext
\pushcatcodetable
\setcatcodetable\texcatcodes
\usemodule[pstric]
\readfile{pst-add}{}{}
\readfile{pst-spectra}{}{}
\popcatcodetable
\startTEXpage
\hbox\bgroup
\ignorespaces
\pspicture(0,-2.5)(\textwidth,1.6)
\psspectrum[element=H, emission](0,0)(\textwidth,1.5)
\rput(2,1){Hydrogen spetrum}
\endpspicture
\removeunwantedspaces
\egroup
\obeydepth % temp hack as we need to figure this out
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
runs ""mtxrun --script texexec %s --once --dvips <filename>"
and then runs "ps2pdf inputname outputname"
but that generates the file with the wrong size. dvips gives the following
error message:
' TeX output 2013.11.25:1841' -> test-pstricks-0001.ps
Page 1 may be too complex to print
dvips: no match for special paper size found; using default
(and that is the reason for the wrong paper size).
It has been years since I used dvips, so I don't remember how to correct
that. Basically, the "bug" is with the following file:
\starttext
\startTEXpage
What will happen now
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
Process using "mtxrun --script test --dvips" and then "ps2pdf" and the
resulting pdf file has the wrong bounding box.
