[NTG-context] strange behavior with \groupedcommand in recent versions of LMTX

Hello list,
this is a MWE that worked right in MkIV and in LMTX versions (at least)
until April 22nd, 2020.
There's a macro, \wordorparagraphright, that takes one argument, makes a
hbox with it and measures its width
- if its width is less than \hsize, then it calls \wordright
- if its width is more than \hsize, then it ends the current paragraph
and starts a right-aligned paragraph with the argument
There are two implementations in the MWE: one is through
\groupedcommand, and that's the one that worked once and doesn't now.
----------------------------------------------------
\unexpanded\def\groupedwordorparagraphright{\dosingleempty\dogroupedwordorparagraphright}
\def\dogroupedwordorparagraphright[#1]{\groupedcommand{\setbox\scratchbox\hbox\bgroup}
{\egroup\ifdim\wd\scratchbox < \hsize
\wordright{\unhbox\scratchbox}
\else
\par\penalty10000
\startalignment[flushright]\unhbox\scratchbox\stopalignment
\fi}}
\unexpanded\def\wordorparagraphright#1{%
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}
\ifdim\wd\scratchbox < \hsize
\wordright{#1}
\else
\par\penalty10000
\startalignment[flushright]\unhbox\scratchbox\stopalignment
\fi}
\starttext
\type{\wordorparagraphright} should use \type{\wordright} if its argument
is narrower than \type{\hsize}, or make a right-aligned paragraph with it
when it's wider.
Below, \type{\wordorparagraphright} is tested with a short text, that
has enough room on the same line.
\blank
Reference:
\input ward\wordright{same line, right}
\blank
Implementation as a grouped command (it doesn't work):
\input ward\groupedwordorparagraphright{same line, right}
\blank
Normal implementation, not as a grouped command (it works):
\input ward\wordorparagraphright{same line, right}
\stoptext
----------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately the grouped version is the one I need, because it's used
in a register, and it would give an error if not defined through
\groupedcommand:
\setupregister[myregister]
[pageleft=\wordorparagraphright\bgroup,pageright=\egroup]
TIA,
Massi
