Yes, and I think I found the culprit:
====================================
\setuptables[split=yes]
\starttext
Some text
\start\it
\starttable[|l|l|] \NC 2001 \NC Fall \NC\SR \stoptable
\stop
Some text
\stoptext
====================================
If you comment out \setuptables[split=yes] it works fine. So there is/was
(ConTeXt ver: 2006.08.16)
most likely a bug in the splitting mechanism.
I'll try the latest beta later and report back.
Best
Idris
