When using the characterkerning method you can exempt ligatures

respectively. If the function returns a truish value for the
given input, ligatures won’t be decomposed and no extra kerning
will be applied.

I didn't know ConTeXt supports that. And it's even highly
customizable. Thank you very much.

It's a somewhat messy area (e.g. in unifraktur names we see zwj's being injected in names) so we control it via a goodie file (predictable at least).
