If TeX sees a \hbox when in vertical mode, it stays in
vertical mode, simply adding the box to the page. Only
when it sees the 't' from test does it start the next
paragraph. To make the box part of the paragraph, TeX
has to be told to enter horizontal mode first. That is
done by adding \dontleavehmode:

   \starttext
   \dontleavehmode
   \hbox {\externalfigure[quarter]} test
   \stoptext

Cheers,
Taco
