I guess that I do not know TeX well-enough to understand why your
MWE below gives different line breaks.

\starttext

\bgroup \raggedright \input tufte \par \egroup

\bgroup \raggedright \input tufte \egroup \par

\stoptext


From a practical point-of-view, what would be the "correct" way of
achieving the following (i.e. no paragraph breaks):

\setupwhitespace [big]
\starttext
\input tufte
\\
\startframed
  [frame=off,offset=0pt,before=,after=,width=\textwidth,align=middle]
\input ward \stopframed
\\
\input dawkins
\stoptext
