Below is a simple test case that illustrates what I suspect are bugs
with \startlines. I suspect that fixing them will be tricky, so I'm
wondering if anyone can think of work arounds.

\starttext
\bgroup\tt
\ConTeXt\ is A\bgroup\ttsl maz\egroup ing
\setuplines[space=yes]
\startlines
\ConTeXt\ is A\bgroup\ttsl maz\egroup ing
 I didn't expect spaces around "maz"
\stoplines
\setuplines[space=on]
\startlines
\ConTeXt\ is A\bgroup\ttsl maz\egroup ing
 I expected a space marker before "is"
\stoplines\egroup
\stoptext

I'm not sure if they are bugs, because they come as a natural
amd predictable side-effect of using \obeyspaces. Here is an
example of the needed source changes to get your expected
output:

   \starttext
   \bgroup\tt
   \ConTeXt\ is A\bgroup\ttsl maz\egroup ing
   \setuplines[space=yes]
   \startlines
   \ConTeXt\ is A{\ttsl{}maz}ing
    I didn't expect spaces around "maz"
   \stoplines
   \setuplines[space=on]
   \startlines
   \ConTeXt{ }is A{\ttsl{}maz}ing
    I expected a space marker before "is"
   \stoplines\egroup
   \stoptext

indeed this is not a bug, tex sees the (active) space not as a space but as a 
terminator and keeps it in place; in addition to taco's solution you can do:

\starttext

\switchtobodyfont[tt]

\setuplines[space=on]

% hacky, so not to be used

\startlines
Let's talk about this{\ttsl\gobbleoneargument or}that.
\stoplines

% verbose and okay

\startlines
Let's talk about this{\getvalue{ttsl}or}that.
\stoplines

% TACO: what do you think of

\let\cs\getvalue

\startlines
Let's talk about this{\cs{ttsl}or}that.
\stoplines

\stoptext

(there is no language or font or whatecver \cs)

Assuming you are not going to use it for czech at some point ... yes

That is all right with Czech:
   Czech language -> cz
   Slovac language -> sk

(But you are right, there is a true context: 'cs' was used for 
Czechoslovakia, but the state has not existed for 13 years; Czechoslovac 
language does never exist, so no such abbreviation.)
