Hi Jean,

the bevahiour from setupalign is normal and come from the \raggeright
definition in plain TeX, it is fixed and can not be fixed beause of backward
compatibility.

The alignment commands on the other side are newer commands
and fix this old behaviour, you run in this problem also with the align keys
in the setups for many commands and environments.
