This is because the commands are interpreted with TeX before they
are written to mpgraph.mp. The \letterampersand or \ generates the
character alone: you need to preceed it with

iii) Why should I better use \sometxt?
sometxt was introduced in mkii to avoid text processing mp, i.e. it is
done at the context end in the current run and mp only gets dimensions;
so, it avoids the nested tex run
in mkii there is some more trickery and

Average runtime:
textext variant: 56s

Hi,
I have a problem producing an ampersand in metapost. In ConTeXt it works as
expected. Have a look at the following example.
\starttext
\ % OK
\startMPcode
label(textext(\),origin); % produces error
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
The compile time error message is as follows:
! Misplaced alignment
