THANKS for those who checked this on their system and found nothing
wrong. But that was bad news for me.
I switched back and force between the versions of 2006-05-28 and
2006-06-07 by replacing all context related files from cont-tmf.zip,
taking care to first remove all the old contents, regenerating the
formats afterwards. Definitely the 2006-05-28 works, the 2006-06-07
does not work here.
At the brink of giving up I thought it should be metapost related and
then found in cont-sys.tex some patches I had received earlier and
these now had to be taken out. So back to normal!
QUESTION: is the issue related to these patches now resolved from
version 2006-06-07 onwards?
These patches were:
"% PATCH FOR SUPPRESS "unknown"s IN METAPOST COMMUNICATION OF textext"
\unexpanded\def\startcolor
{\ifincolor
\expandafter\doglobalstartcolor
\else
\expandafter\noglobalstartcolor
\fi}
\unexpanded\def\stopcolor
{\ifincolor
\doglobalstopcolor
\else
\noglobalstopcolor
\fi}
and
"% PATCH FOR STANDALONE GRAPHICS WHERE textext WAS NOT WORKING"
\long\def\writecheckedMPgraphic#1%
{\ifforceMPTEXgraphic
\global\MPTEXgraphictrue
\else
\global\MPTEXgraphicfalse
\edef\ascii{#1}\convertcommand\ascii\to\MPascii
\the\MPTEXgraphicchecks\relax % \relax is end condition!
\fi
\flushMPTEXgraphic % verbatimtex etc
\writeMPgraphic{#1}}
