Finally I could make a MWE that reproduces the issue.
%%%%%%%%
%\setuplayout[grid=both] % uncommenting this makes last line not indented.
%\enabletrackers[vspacing.synchronizepage]

Chapitre.

\hangindent=30pt\hangafter=-2Third par.\\
Second line.
\blank[0pt, samepage]
\hangindent=30pt\hangafter=-2 Fourth par not indented.\\ Second line not indented.

Thanks for the extended explanation. I guess I need to figure out how to create a MWE that reproduces the issue.

what do you mean with pending ... tex doesn't look ahead, only back
you probably need to look at the delta of pagegoal - pagetotal and evide
that by the line height .. probably good enough for text without whitespace
even then, hyphenation penalties can make a page one or more lines
shorter so you also need to disable some of that

you never really know what you look at: tex collects stuff and triggers
the output routine when it thinks it makes sense
in context there is also the rather complex vertical spacing mechanism
that needs to look back and forward while looking back can interfere
with page breaks (and/or retrying)
these mechanisms evolved over time and are still nto perfect

no, it's independent ... just th enumber of lines (hboxes) that make a
paragraph after it's broken into lines
hangindent/after/parshape don't look at real dimensions, they only count
lines
this is why a side float mechanism is so complex ... lots of border
cases and trickery around page breaks (because not only the size of what
goes side is important but also the preceding and following space, the
height and depth of lines etc
