You can get a better result with “\setuptype[space=stretch]” but only the 
“stretch”
keyword for \setupalign/\setuptolerance prevents a overfull line in your 
example.

\setuptype[space=fixed]

You can also put the text in a \hbox with “\setuptype[command=\hbox]”.
The command key from \setuptype is special because it accepts only
box commands (\hbox, \vbox, \framed …).
