i wonder why \setupcaptions[align=hanging] does not work.

instead of toks:

   \unexpanded\def\HANGTOKS{...}

is also an options since \unexpanded commands are ignores in comparisons / 
checks

this has to do with the fact that fonts get associated lrprtotcodes which 
happens at definition time

\tfxx is a rather hard coded text switch, use \small instead which is a 
body font switch that switches them all [these things are a matter of speed 
trade offs]
