This appears to be the same as the problem Peter Münster found with the letter module

left=\bTD,right=\eTD]

\starttext

The first letter of “Cell” is lost.

\startseparatedlist[MyTable]
Cell 1 Cell 2
\stopseparatedlist

With an extra return, “Cell” is intact.

\startseparatedlist[MyTable]

Cell 1 Cell 2
\stopseparatedlist


\stoptext

in buff-ini.mkiv change this:

\def\buff_start_indeed#1#2#3#4%
 {\normalexpanded{\buff_pickup{#2}{#3}{#4}{}{\buff_stop{#4}}\plusone}}

probably needs some checking

Adding \obeylines to \grabbufferdatadirect would also work

\unexpanded\def\grabbufferdatadirect % name start stop
  {\begingroup % (6)
+  \obeylines
   \buff_start_indeed\empty}

but I’m interested what’s the purpose of the fifth argument for \buff_start_indeed.
