This is a bad example because there is no problem with \leftskip.

What he means is that protrusion at the left margin doesn’t at the begin 
of a paragraph when you use indentation.

%%% begin example
\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]

\setupbodyfont[modern-designsize]

\setupalign[hanging]

\setupbackgrounds[text][leftframe=on]

\starttext

“How does this look?”

When you a short paragraph with a quotattion mark at the beginning above
another paragraph without a quotation mark the letters at the start of
both paragraph don’t align.

\blank[3*line]\setupindenting[yes,medium]

“How does this look?”

When you a short paragraph with a quotattion mark at the beginning above
another paragraph without a quotation mark the letters at the start of
both paragraph don’t align.

\blank[3*line]

\dontleavehmode\llap{“}How does this look?”

When you a short paragraph with a quotattion mark at the beginning above
another paragraph without a quotation mark the letters at the start of
both paragraph don’t align.

\stoptext
%%% end example
