this is because start-stop quotation adds blanks

\starttext
% this is the dangerous way, since grouping may be screwed up
\setupquote[before=,after=]
\startitemize
\item \startquotation Line 1
\item Line 2\stopquotation
\stopitemize
% for this you need the patch below
\startitemize
\item \leftquotation Line 1
\item Line 2\rightquotation
\stopitemize
\startitemize
\item \leftquotationmark Line 1
\item Line 2\rightquotationmark
\stopitemize
\stoptext
