There are no mu skips in your example because the values are math.

When you use modes 0--2 ConTeXt inserts a space based on the width of an 
period but the other
modes use either \thinspace (mode 3 and 4) or \thickspace (mode 5 and 6) 
as separator.

%%%% begin example
\setdigitmode{3}

\startdocument

\type{1,000} = \the\dimexpr\widthofstring{1,000}\relax

\type{1.000} = \the\dimexpr\widthofstring{\digits{1.000}}\relax

\type{1\thinspace 000} = \the\dimexpr\widthofstring{1\thinspace 000}\relax

\type{1.000} = \the\dimexpr\widthofstring{\digits{1.===}}\relax

\stopdocument
%%%% end example
