Looking a bit more, the problem is not protrusion but the bounding box. 
Look at the left side of the italic T and W, and to a lesser degree C, 
O, and Q, produced by the following.

    \usetypescript[libertinus]
    \setupbodyfont[libertinus]
    \starttext
    ¦\doloopoverlist{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}
    {\it\recursestring\tf¦}\par
    ¦\doloopoverlist{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}
    {\recursestring¦}

    ¦\doloopoverlist{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}
    {\WORD{\it\recursestring}\tf¦}\par
    ¦\doloopoverlist{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}
    {\WORD{\recursestring}¦}
    \stoptext

This may be an issue for the font maintainer, but is there anything that 
could be done within context?
