You can use the \resetcharacterspacing command to disable the spacing.

\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]

\definestartstop
  [EnglishTitle]
  [commands=\resetcharacterspacing,
   style=italic]

\starttext

text: «text» \EnglishTitle{text: «text»}

\stoptext

The \url and \hyphenatedurl need to be fixed.
