When using \startitemize … \stopitemize there is no indent for the first

that by \item the first paragraph also has no indentation?

See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Indentation#Setting_up_indentation_inside_environments

What you need is

\setupindenting[big,yes]
\setupitemize[1][indenting=next]

\starttext
\startitemize
 \item \input knuth
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Does not work. I tried:
    \setupindenting[yes,medium]
    \setupitemize[1][indentnext=no]
    \setupitemgroup[itemize][indentnext=no]

    \starttext
    ` Backtick\crlf
    ' Apostrophe\crlf
    ‘ Open curly quote\crlf
    ’ Close curly quote

    ‘some quoted text’

    “some doublequoted text”

    \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt]

    ‘some quoted text’

    “some doublequoted text”

    \startitemize
    \item Alleen een test

    \input knuth
    \stopitemize

    \stoptext

But the first paragraph is still indented.

I still find it strange that \head does not indent the first and \item does. I would expect them to behave the same.
