Thanks, I understand now; and sorry, I hadn't meant it as a feature
request! I was trying only to learn the differences between all the
ways of doing *TeX labels in figures, and was trying experiments. I
should have added that the difference was probably from a confusion on
my part (my conceptual model derailed when sometxt failed but textext
worked).

Thanks! I'm using the new beta (2006.09.25) to test sometxt in
staticMPfigure but got derailed at this staticMPgraphic:
============= 4.tex =====================================
\starttext
\startstaticMPfigure{fig}
draw fullcircle scaled 1cm xscaled 2;
\stopstaticMPfigure
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]
xyz
\stoptext
==================================================
The texexec run says "figure 4-fig.pdf can not be found" and 4.pdf shows
a dummy figure in place of the figure. 4-fig.mp contains just
=========================================
;
draw fullcircle scaled 1cm xscaled 2;
=========================================
which looks a lot simpler than it did in previous versions. 4.log says
that write18 ran
texmfstart --ifchanged=4-fig.mp texexec --mpstatic 4-fig.mp
I ran it by hand omitting the --ifchanged:
$ texmfstart texexec --mpstatic 4-fig.mp

I guess because there's no processmpstatic procedure, whereas texexec.rb
calls job.processmpstatic. But the analogous procedure,
processmpgraphic, is a bit daunting so I haven't tried to write
processmpstatic.
