After downloading the newest beta (the real one :-) ) the situation changed 
quite a lot. However, there are some problems remaining ....

The minimal example I provided works perfectly now. However, when using \tfa 
the hanging puntuation breakes. E.g.

     \setupoutput[pdftex]
      \usetypescript[serif][hanging][pure]
      \setupalign [hanging]
   \definetypeface[modern][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][handling=pure]
      \showframe
      \starttext
         \modern
         \input tufte  \par             % ok hanging punctuation works
         {\tfa\input tufte \par}        % no hanging punctuation :-(
         {\switchtobodyfont[big]\input tufte \par} % ok again
         {\tfx\input tufte \par}                            % ok
         {\switchtobodyfont[small]\input tufte \par} % ok
      \stoptext

Interestingly,  \tfx does not switch off the hanging puntuation.
Also, \switchtobodyfont[...] seems to be  ok.
(Btw. Is it normal that neither \tfa nor \tfx adapt the interline spaces?)

This problem persists.
