Unexpected white gap (4mm wide) between edge of PDF page and start of a background

When processing my document with ConTeXt, I do not understand why there appears a gap between the leftmost edge of my PDF document and the left edge of my background layer.
I have made an MWE which exhibits this behavior:
definelayer[mybkgr][x=0mm,y=0mm,
width=paperwidth,height=paperheight]
setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybkgr]
setlayer[mybkgr][x=0mm,y=10cm]
blackrule[height=0.3paperheight,
width=paperwidth,color=orange]
starttext
strut
stoptext
I also tried with hoffset instead of x, with the same result.
This gap can be canceled by setting a hoffset to -4mm. But why does it appear in the first place ? am I missing something ?
(note : In order to be sure that it's not a PDF-viewer-specific behavior, I checked the resulting PDF using evince, xpdf and okular)

You have a spurious space in your code:
definelayer[mybkgr][x=0mm,y=0mm,
width=paperwidth,height=paperheight]
setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybkgr]
setlayer[mybkgr][x=0mm,y=10cm]% <--
blackrule[height=0.3paperheight,
width=paperwidth,color=orange]
starttext
strut
stoptext
