Thank you, Hans, for your quick and helpful answer. With your patch all my 
problematic examples do work now. Unfortunately, I have got a new one :-(

It concernes hanging punctuation when \tfx or \switchtobodyfont[small] are 
present. Under normal circumstances there is no problem. However, a 
preceeding \switchtobodyfont[big]\switchtobodyfont[big] leads to an 
unexpected side effect. Hanging punctuation in all subsequent paragraphs with 
\tfx or \switchtobodyfont[small] fails.
See the following example.

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usetypescript[serif][hanging][pure]
\setupalign [hanging]
\definetypeface[modern][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][handling=pure]
\showframe
\starttext
   \modern

   % Hanging punctuation whith \tfx or  \switchtobodyfont[small] works
   {\tfx\setupinterlinespace\input tufte \par}    % ok
   {\switchtobodyfont[small]\input tufte \par}   % ok

   % Hanging punctuation in the following paragraph works.
   % However, it has side effects on the subsequent paragraphs.
   {\switchtobodyfont[big]\switchtobodyfont[big]\input tufte \par} % ok

   % For some reason hanging punctuation is switched off now.
   {\tfx\setupinterlinespace\input tufte \par}    % no hanging :-(
   {\switchtobodyfont[small]\input tufte \par}   % no hanging :-(
\stoptext
