Would it not be better to use ConTeXt alignment, rather than the TeX

\startframedtext[left][frame=on,offset=0pt,width=broad,align=flushleft]

\stopframedtext

Could be of course. But the question is: from where the counterintuitive
behavioud of \hfil and \hfil?
It is my nature to be not satisfied until I know ;-)

because internally the framed align can inject \hfil \hfill \hss or whatever was decided best ... it's already complex enough to write macros like \framed that adapt to all cases users throw at it so the options (like align) are there for a reason

if you don't want that you need to wrap your stuff in a box in which case you can do inside that box what you like

(you can use \showmakeup to see what is in a \framed box)
