I suggest testing without the ": mapping=tex=text" in the type specs, to
begin with. It's there for the convenience of Roman fonts.

Ah, the Overfull box bug again. ConTeXt doesn't know where to break your
lines, so it runs into a feature interaction. I generally shrink the font
size when that happens.

So, I looked at your text, and concluded that the font is doing what it
thinks is right! These Unicode fonts interpret left & right quotes as
quotes only, and not apostrophes. The extra spacing is included in the glyph.

Conclusion: don't use "mapping=tex-text" in non-roman fonts. Don't use
rightquote as an apostrophe! 

(This is a surprise to me, as well. Perhaps the fonts are designed this
way to accommodate vertical layout? I don't know.)

A ConTeXt test file follows.
