\startplacefigure inherits a lot of location settings but among these flushleft 
and flushright are missing.
Thus the \setupfloat in the example cannot be omitted. Wouldn't it be a logical 
step to make possible also:
    \startplacefigure[location=flushleft] 
dito for flushright?

\starttext
% example to extend figure into the left margin (Hans Hagen, 2014-07-25)
\setupfloat[figure][location=flushleft]
\startplacefigure
   \framed[width=1.1\textwidth]{location=flushleft}
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
