Well, if you want to say that texexec --version (now ctxtools --contextversion) returns something around 2002, please don't ever try to mention that on this list if you want to stay alive ;) Thanks for the safety tip :) Best download justtext.zip and linuxtex.zip from www.pragma-ade.com, extract them to some folder of your choice and execute . setuptex in your .bashrc. And then do ctxtools --update every tho weeks ;) teTeX isn't maintaind any more. And thanks for these two tips too. I've since sorted out the original angles problem by explicitly loading a font - which I think to do otherwise, since the default worked for the most part.

I have made a minimal example and done some variations. See file
test.tex and testfig.tex
1. including my own metapost macroset for Label (custom.mp)
gives different results for \forceMPTEXgraphictrue --
\forceMPTEXgraphicfalse
undefined as label for true, unknown as label for false
The false - unknown is to be expected. Without it, context
does not understand that Label is similar to textext.
As an alternative, it is also possible to do
\forceMPTEXcheck{Label}
2. draw textext gives in both cases label undefined.
This typically means the the embedded TeX run for the textext
failed, but the problem could also be that the entire metapost
run was wrong.
I do not know why this does occur on my MacOSX system and obviously
not on other systems.
But the effect is demonstrably their.
Could it be something in the communication between TeX and Metapost?
Or something related end-of-line stuff?
Because even simple backgrounds fail (and only on MacOSX), end-of-line
stuff seems a likely candidate. What is the contents of the
test-mpgraph.mp?

This turns out to be a disaster for me.
Now all textext again comes out as unknown.
Setting \forceMPTEXgraphictrue makes things worse, because now all
graphics are replaced by the first one generated.
Is there any help?
Can you send me the complete output of your run, and the current
contents of cont-sys.tex? (for debugging purposes)
I finally managed to nail down the cause of this problem and solve it.
(adding and removing files and rebuilding format in small steps did
the trick ;-)
It is the following line in supp-mps.tex:
\ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texmfstart
texexec} \fi
previously this was:
\ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texexec} \fi
The trouble stems from the fact that apparently texexec.pl does not
need an excutable copy named texexec in order to get called from
supp-mps.tex whereas texmfstart.rb did.
Calling texmfstart from bash shell apparently has no trouble
finding texmfstart.rb if it knows its whereabouts.
Therefore now I add to my installation shell script in addition to
unzipping now these two lines:
chmod a+x .../scripts/ruby/texmstart.rb
cp .../scripts/ruby/texmstart.rb /usr/local/bin
(/usr/local/bin on my path, as it is in most unix-like systems).
After that I had to tweak my TeXShop to use texmfstart accordingly.
For those MacOSX-TeXShop users among you who want this too and
without much trouble, here is the recipe (with thanks to Richard Koch):
1. Make a file ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ContextNew.engine (vary the
'ContextNew' part at will)
2. Give it the following contents (the tetex-part pertains to my
tetex tex-structure, yours may vary)
#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current)
texmfstart texexec --pdf --autopdf $1
3. ensure /usr/local/bin/texmfstart is on your search path
4. if you like choose in the Preferences of TeXShop under Default
Command the item Command Listed Below and fill the textfield with
ContextNew
5. and/or put as first line in your tex-files:
%!TEX TS-program = ContextNew
6. for working in Terminal (the shell, mine is bash) put in
your .bashrc the following lines:
CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/scripts/
context/ruby/
export CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS
PATH=$PATH:$CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS
export PATH

You don't need lcdftools at all; in fact, I now avoid it for most installs. I find the easiest route is: 1. create an afm with fontforge -c 'Open($1);Generate($2)' foo.otf foo.afm 2. create a pl file with afm2pl -p ENCODING.enc foo.afm ENCODING- foo.pl (you'll need the file default.lig for this to work and modify it if need be); this step will also write an (incorrect) map file which you can edit; 3. pltotf ENCODING-foo.pl I prefer this approach because it's more transparent than lcdftools.
