when a long primary is preceded with the secondary or tertiary
index entry, the second line is not indented as usual, see
the following example:
\setupregister[balance=no]
\starttext
\index{primary+secondary+tertiary}
\index[primary long]{\dorecurse{5}{primary long }}
\index[primary longer]{\dorecurse{5}{primary longer }} % Ok
\input{tufte}
\completeindex
\stoptext
how is a \dorecurse supposed to get sorted ...
That \dorecurse is used in this MWE only to make it shorter. Indeed, this
command confuses the letter grouping procedure so this is the reason why I
specified the sorting key via the bracket syntax [].
I think there is no need to fix this grouping issue (not enough ROI), but if
so, I would expect to resolve the \dorecurse command first and then apply
the grouping/sorting etc.
My main wish is fixing that indentation (or offering any workaround).
stylistic variant:

\defineprocessor[twolines][command=\MyStyle]

\unexpanded\def\MyStyle#1%
   {\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}%
    \scratchdimen\dimexpr\hsize-\leftskip-\hangindent\relax
    \ifdim\wd\scratchbox>\scratchdimen
      \aftergroup\hangafter
      \aftergroup\plustwo
      \aftergroup\break
    \else\ifdim\wd\scratchbox>2\scratchdimen
      \aftergroup\hangafter
      \aftergroup\plustwo
      \aftergroup\break
    \fi\fi
    \unhbox\scratchbox}

\setupregister
   [balance=no]

\setupregister
   [index:1]
   [textstyle=\MyStyle]

\starttext
     \index{primary+secondary+tertiary}
     \index{twolines->primary long primary long primary long primary 
long primary long}
     \index{twolines->primary longer primary longer primary longer 
primary longer primary longer}
     \input{tufte}
     \completeindex
\stoptext
