This is the way indeed:
\setupcaptions
[align=left,
width=max]
\input tufte \placefigure{hi there}{} \input tufte
\startfiguretext{hi there}{}
\input tufte
\stopfiguretext
gives me two figures with left aligned captions. So it seems that
something else is interefering. Can you isolate the problem and send me
the file?

Another dirty one:
When you say \getpagestatus, you can use \ifrightpage to distinguish odd
even page actions, like in:
\getpagestatus \ifrightpage hello \else world \fi
This is a two-pass thing, so you need at least two runs (automaticlly
done by texexec).
