\starttext
\startblockquote
[w]hile we may

[w]hile we may

\stopblockquote
\stoptext

seems to fail with the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2016.10.14) unless one replaces the first line with
\[w\]hile we may.

Better \startblockquote\relax

The \startblockquote command has a optional argument which is passed to \startnarrower and
in your example [w] is used as the argument. This alone won’t be enough for an error, the reason
why you get problems is that \startnarrower takes everything which isn’t a valid keyword (left, right
or middle) as dimension for the margins but "w" isn’t a dimension and generates the error.
