I had tested using a MWE but in reality I have a rather involved set of XML
setups with some lua code inclusions and multi-language handling bits and
when I ran that as an environment without the explicit
\starttext \xmlprocessfile{...}{\inputfilename}{} \stoptext, while some
parts did work (fonts, colours, language switches) some of the page layout
information was lost. When I added the
\starttext \xmlprocessfile{...}{\inputfilename}{} \stoptext back in, it
worked properly.
I'm not sure exactly which bits "fell out" but something definitely did.
But the explicit calling as above fixed it.
