It's not a real fix but you can you exclude the \vfill command
when ConTeXt does its cell calculations.

\starttext

\startxtable[align=middle,width=\textwidth,height=15cm]
   \startxrow
     \startxcell
       Top
       \doifnotmode{*trialtypesetting}{\vfill}
       Bottom
     \stopxcell
   \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\stoptext
