It seems that noalign messes up width calculation. Here is one
possibility:
\startbuffer
\starttabulate
\NC nofautotabulate \NC \the\nofautotabulate \NC \NR
\NC tabulatewidth \NC \the\tabulatewidth \NC \NR
\NC tufte \NC \input tufte \NC \NR
\mynoalign{\vbox{some quotes that are used for generating sample
text in a lot of \CONTEXT\ documents again and again}}
\NC zapf \NC \input zapf \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\let\mynoalign\noalign
\getbuffer
\page
\def\mynoalign
{\iftrialtypesetting \expandafter\gobbleoneargument
\else \expandafter\TABLEnoalign \fi}
\getbuffer
\stoptext
