What happens is that a caption < width kicks in.

% put this on cont=-new.mkiv

\unprotect

\def\strc_floats_prepare_side_caption_fit
   {\ifdim\wd\b_strc_floats_caption>\wd\b_strc_floats_content\relax
      \setbox\b_strc_floats_caption\vbox
        {\forgetall % needed?
         \hsize\wd\b_strc_floats_content
         \strc_floats_make_complete_caption}%
    \else
       \setbox\b_strc_floats_caption\hpack
         {\strc_floats_make_complete_caption}%
    \fi}

\protect

% then you can do this (maybe Wolfgang can check the logic too):

\starttext

     \setupfloat[figure][default={left,nonumber}]

     \placefigure{my figure caption my figure 
caption}{\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte
     \placefigure{my figure caption} 
{\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte

     \setupfloat[figure][location=left]

     \placefigure{my figure caption my figure 
caption}{\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte
     \placefigure{my figure caption} 
{\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte

\stoptext

don't use flushleft as that won't work ok for location
