\definestartstop
   [test]
   [before={\setupinterlinespace[1.5]},
    after=\endgraf]

will work ok, you need to end a par within the group, since tex uses par 
specific spacing settings that count at th eend of a paragraph (which in 
your case is ended *after* the start/stop group ends

compare:

\bgroup \baselineskip 1cm \input tufte \egroup \par

\bgroup \baselineskip 1cm \input tufte \par \egroup

[same for left/rightskip and indentation]
