I discovered this bug while answering a question on TeX.SX. Consider:
\define\cyrdash{\dontleavehmode\scale[sx=0.80]{---}} \unprotect \setuplanguage [\s!ru] [ \c!midsentence=\cyrdash, \c!leftsentence=\cyrdash, \c!rightsentence=\cyrdash, ] \protect
\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
\starttext Normal text|<|English
\mainlanguage[ru] Normal text|<|Russian \stoptext
The pdf shows:
Normal text—English Normal text„Russian
Why the quote instead of the emdash. The output is okay is if \mainlanguage is set before |<| is used for the first time. When subsentences are nested the inner group uses the leftsubsentence and rightsubsentence symbols.
\mainlanguage[ru] \starttext outer|<|inner|<|nested|>|inner|>|outer \stoptext Wolfgang
