The startalignment applies to the preceding text, too. Strange...
It’s a normal behaviour for TeX, the question is should
\startalignment end the previous paragraph or not.
when tex breaks a paragraph into lines the current values of relevant
parameters is used (left and right skips, spacing, etc)
I guess that I do not know TeX well-enough to understand why your
MWE below gives different line breaks.
\starttext
\bgroup \raggedright \input tufte \par \egroup
\bgroup \raggedright \input tufte \egroup \par
\stoptext
because the par builder kicks in when \par is issued so when that 
happens after teh group the settings for left/rightskip used are not the 
one inside the group
