a simpler test file is

\showframe \mainlanguage[uk]

\starttext
     \placefigure[left]{}{} \input zapf
\stoptext

there can be several reasons for the difference (btw, uk patterns cannot 
hyphenate widely)

- different fonts i.e. different glyphs dimensions and spacing (lm 
opentype is not the same as lm type1)
- different hyphenation algorithm (mostly the same as traditional tex, 
but some limitations and optimizations removed)
