I did a simple thing, replace a \framed by \framedtext to get \placeinitial working but that doesn't seem to work automatically:

%==========================
\starttext
\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth

\framed[align=flushleft]{\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth }

\framedtext[align=flushleft]{\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth }

\stoptext
%==========================

Is there a way I can get a working \placeinitial inside a \framed or \frametext?
