I am inclined to agree, Aditya. At least it is odd in English typography. Still thanks for the fix.

When used in inside \emph, \quote puts the words cited into roman face.
Thus,

\starttext

\emph{The \quote{Problemata} in Medieval Times}

\emph{The \quote{\emph{Problemata}} in Medieval Times}

\stoptext

This seems odd. Should \quote not leave the style of the text as it is?
That is, should the output of line 1 not look like that of line 2?

The same question was asked recently on TeX.SE http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/286743/context-quote-command-resets-font-shape-is-this-a-bug

I think that this is just a bad default. You can use:

\setupdelimitedtext[quote][style=]
