it's dangerous to use dimensions in \setuplayout that get set themselves

also, textwidth is for special purposed and special effects, not to be 
used here (spoils things)

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]

\setuplayout
  [width=middle,
   backspace=.75in,
   curspace=2.55in,
   leftmargin=.50in,
   margindistance=.25in,
   rightmargin=2.3in]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided}]

\starttext

The very first page with a small image in the (bigger) margin.

\placefigure
  [inright]{a margin image}
  {\framed[width=\marginwidth,height=3cm]{image}}

\input tufte

An now a larger image in the text and margin are

\placefigure
  [here,inright]{a text+margin image}
  {\framed[width=1.2\textwidth,height=3cm]{image}}

\inmargin{Tufte text} \input tufte \page

The second page  with a small image in the (bigger) margin.

\placefigure
  [inright]
  {a margin image}
  {\framed[width=\rightmarginwidth,height=3cm]{image}}

\input tufte

An now a larger image in the text and margin are

\placefigure
  [here,inright]
  {a text+margin image}
  {\framed[width=1.2\textwidth,height=3cm]{image}}

\inmargin{Tufte text} \input tufte \page
