Recently there have been reports of the first letter of a line of text

I tracked down what appears to be the same problem and developed a
work-around.
The problem appears to be with the \grabbufferdata command. Something
has changed in the way it works, and it now swallows the first token
of the buffer that it grabs. It may also show up with other commands,
but this is the only one I have found in my projects.
And as soon as I post, I see that Hans has found the problem in the
buffering code.
but you're going to test it -)
Indeed I have, but my tests mean little beyond what I can eyeball to see
if it still looks okay. I might say that the issue is resolved for my
small environment but I do not know what side-effects may result from
the change. I have no library of edge cases, no integrated build
environment, and only a single platform.
That said, however, the issue disappears for my projects when I remake
ConTeXt (and ConTeXtjit) with your patch.
And clearly, the \ignorespaces that I used in my workaround was just a
convenient no-op. I could have used {} or \relax to the same effect.
