I've found that it has to do with the content of my text. Any paragraph
beginning with a block does not flow properly. The best workaround I
have found is to insert a \strut at the beginning of the text where it
starts with a block.

Here is a sample result (37k): 
    http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/example1.pdf

Here is the graphic (28k):
    http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/test-a.png

And this is the source:

* * *

\useexternalfigure[initial-a][test-a][type=png, height=50pt, width=50pt]

\starttext 

% Good.
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[initial-a]}
Now is the time for all good men. \input tufte
\blank

% No good. Text begins with a block
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[initial-a]}
{\sc Now is the time for all good men.} \input tufte
\blank

% Good. Text begins with a character.
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[initial-a]}
x {\sc Now is the time for all good men.} \input tufte
\blank

% No good. Any block is a problem
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[initial-a]}
{Now is the time for all good men.} \input tufte
\blank

% Good. Workaround: begin text with zero-width strut.
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[initial-a]}
\strut {\sc Now is the time for all good men.} \input tufte

\stoptext
