Dear list,

Although, not a fix for the issue, here is a workaround that allowed me to 
achieve what I wanted:

\definedescription[amnata]
\setupdescription[amnata]
  [closesymbol={​},
   closecommand=\wordright,
   before=\startamnatanarrower,
   after=\stopamnatanarrower]

\startamnata
A quote from another author : Suppose that thereisalongwordhere.
\wordright{– author}
\stopamnata

With this the argument of \wordright appears correctly at the right-edge of 
the block. Note that this does not work (as expected) when closesymbol is not 
set (or, is empty). Therefore, here I have set closesymbol={​​U+200B}, which 
is the zero width space.

Thanks,
kauśika
