I do not completely understand what is happening here. Here is a modified 
example posted by Bostjan

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
\startbuffer
Watch the space between this line and the formula.

\startformula
E = m c^2
\stopformula
\stopbuffer

\setupformulas[spacebefore=0pt]
\getbuffer

\setupformulas[spacebefore=big]
\setupindenting [yes, next, big]
\getbuffer

\setupformulas[spacebefore=0pt]
\getbuffer
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

MKII is getting it completely wrong, especially in the last case: the 
formula overwrites the text! I do not know what is going on. Wolfgang had 
posted a patch (see attachment) that adds a \ifindentfirstparagraph check 
before removing the baseline skip in \startdisplaymath, but I do not know 
what side effects it can have. Can someone who understand MKII indentation 
model please check this?

MKIV behaviour is (visually) correct.
