Hi Andrés,
I’m afraid this is a proper bug.
It isn’t related to Spanish as language. The bug is triggered when a the
ligature has a hyphenation point at the end.
Here is another mininmal example with German as main language:
\mainlanguage[de]
\loadtypescriptfile[ebgaramond]
\setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,24pt]
\starttext
\hsize\zeropoint
figura afigura
\es figura afigura
\en figura afigura
\stoptext
German only inserts a hyphenation point after three characters (and
before other three characters). This is why the first word has the
ligature and the second word doesn’t have it.
English doesn’t show the bug, because it doesn’t find any hyphenation
point in the words.
Until this is fixed, you may use the new hyphenator. You need a fairly
new beta. Add the following lines at the top of your preamble:
\setuphyphenation[method=traditional]
\sethyphenationfeatures[strict]
I hope it helps,
Pablo
