I have no problem to use \, as a space command but when you use don’t put a space between the command and the following character.
The \. command is used to create a accented character but it shouldn’t be needed when you have a keyword which allows you to write the character.
\starttext
a\,b\par
a\thinspace b
\blank[line]
\.{c}
\stoptext
