The problem here is that you need to play with backspace, leftmargin
and leftmargindistance. To verify, use the layout[1] module and add
\usemodule [layout]
\ShowLayout[units=in]
in your document. The default in ConTeXt is that
leftmargin + leftmargindistance > backspace, so the layout gets
"shifted" a bit. It is not really a shift, because the backspace
parameter sets the left edge of the text.
