Your problem is that you use the hanging environment in a way which is just wrong,
the purpose of the command is to put a image etc. at the left/right side of the next
paragraph.

\useMPlibrary[dum]

\starttext

\starthanging{\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]}
\input tufte
\stophanging

\stoptext


What you can try is to put the margin text *in* the float itself because the text is
flushed at the begin of the next paragraph.

\starttext

\startplacefigure[location=force,title={First dummy caption}]
\inmargin{First margin dummy}
\externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure

\startplacefigure[location=force,title={Second dummy caption}]
\inmargin{Second margin dummy}
\externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure

\stoptext
