Indeed that's the reason: such combinations like ,, and '' can only
hang properly if (1) they map to a single glyph (either by font
ligs or by intervention of the macro package) and
(2) there are appropriate \lpcode, \rpcode associated with the
resulting glyph.
I wonder if something could be done by changing the left
protruding factor of the comma, since \lowerleftdoubleninequote
maps to ,, and not a single glyph, but I'm not sure about it.
Encoding/regime mappings are indeed one of the weak spots of
ConTeXt (it figures, considering how recent they are, and how
boring it is to build the relevant tables ...). I plan to dedicate
some time to this stuff soon (say, in two weeks' time).
