Thank you Henri,
a slightly modified version of your solution works!

This is what I wanted to achieve:

\setuplayout[grid=both]
\setupquotation[before={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}]

\starttext
\showgrid

\input knuth

\startlinecorrection[halfline]
\startquotation
  \input sapolsky
\stopquotation
\stoplinecorrection

\input knuth
%\vadjust pre{\blank[line]}% not line, but halfline!
\vadjust pre{\blank[halfline]}%
$\displaystyle{\frac{1}{a + b}}$
%\vadjust{\blank[line]}% not line, but halfline!
\vadjust{\blank[halfline]}%
\input knuth

\stoptext

In general, I'm ok without grid snapping, because the default
typesetting of taller formulas inside text is good enough for my goals.

But I have many quotations (and floats), whose spaces before and after
should be manually tuned not to push the main text out of the grid.
And here grid snapping does a very good (and automated) job.

But sometimes grid snapping is too strict, as in the tall formula
example. I'm still afraid it's too strict and it will hurt in other
places of the text, but now I have a solution, at least for that
problem.
So thank you again,
best regards,
Massi
