I must admit that I am not a (LuaMetaT)eXpert. My limited understanding is 
that it might be due to expansion and the behaviour of (start|stop)item, or 
equivalently (start|stop)itemgroupitem. It does not seem to group like (most?) 
other groups. (see strc-itm.mklx)

For instance if we switch to bold without grouping inside \(start|stop)item it 
cascades through.
  \startitemize[circle]
  \startitem \bf First \stopitem
  \startitem Second \stopitem
  \startitem Third \stopitem
  \startitem Fourth \stopitem
  \stopitemize

In fact, you could just put the lefttoright call inside context.(bgroup|      
egroup): see p. 196 of the cld manual. (start...stop are  anyway ConTeXt'ized 
versions of those).

Best,
