Take the following MetaPost file:
beginfig(0)
  ahlength := 20;
  linejoin := mitered;
  drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5;
endfig;
Render it into PDF with ConTeXt. Witness the cut out ends of the arrow.
How to fix that?
Being able to add some margin would be a solution, which may be
desirable anyway in some cases. Is that possible?
Enlarge the bounds of your picture – 

  beginfig(0);
    ahlength := 20;
    linejoin := mitered;
    drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5;

    setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 5mm;
  endfig;
