Try this one, and play with commenting lines 1 or 2:
\pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT
\pardir TRT \textdir TRT
\setupheadertexts[from left to right]
\starttext
\input tufte\footnote{\input ward }
\placefigure
[here,force]
[fig:Mill]
{Test.}
{\externalfigure[mill]}
\input tufte\footnote{\input ward }
\stoptext
As to the original problem:
\textdir TRT
\input epsf
\epsfbox{fig.eps}\input knuth
\bye
I don't think this is an omega/aleph/luatex bug, but rather that epsf.tex
does not take the global direction change into account. It seems that, for
any figure mechanism in TeX, the coordinates of the figure need to be
vertically reversed when
\pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT
in effect.
