Wolfgang, Hans—many thanks to you both!
Part of the problem was that i was using \| instead of \textbar. I now
have:
\setupbodyfont[antykwa-poltawskiego]
\def\test
  {\ifnum\lastnodetype=\gluenodecode
      \|
   \else
     \textbar
   \fi}
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\starttext
left\test middle \test right
\stoptext
which looks good on the page—\quad\textbar\quad puts too much space
around the bar.
You can use \letterbar instead of \|. \textbar and \letterbar produce
different output because
\letterbar is taken from the text font which has padding on the left and
right side while \textbar
is taken from the math font which has no padding.
When you don’t like the extra space around | I suggest to use another font
which fits your taste
and use \letterbar in both cases (just add some space on the left/right
between word).
Wolfgang
