I was thinking that things placed in the margin (\inmargin,\inright, 
\inleft) would not take up vertical space, but it seems to do just  
that inside an itemize.

Example:

\starttext
\textwidth=4cm
\hairline
%(1)
\startitemize[n,joinedup]
	\item abc
	\item cde
\stopitemize
\hairline
%(2)
% This seems to me the logical place for the remark.
\startitemize[n,joinedup]   \inright{pqr}  % < squeezing spaces does  
not help
	\item abc
	\item cde
\stopitemize
\hairline
%(3)
\startitemize[n,joinedup]
% But it has to be placed here to get the result wanted.
	\item abc   \inright{pqr}
	\item cde
\stopitemize
\hairline
\stoptext

I wanted a remark in the right margin logically applying to the  
itemize as a whole.
Placing it as in (2) looked the right way, but then the next item is  
placed lower on the page. That becomes a problem when a nested  
itemize is put there resulting in an empty line at the first  
itemmarker. Placing the \inright on the first item of the inner  
itemize seems an illogical place to me. It is, of course, not really  
problem because trial (3) shows how to avoid this.

Still the question remains if there is some misbehaviour here in  
either the code for \inright or for \itemize? Therefore I am pointing  
this out just in case it might reveal a more or less subtle bug too  
more wiser ConTeXt-brains then mine.
