Since some weeks I have strange problems with MetaPost in MKIV (beta). The
attached example should (and did in the past) output a central box ("Fakt")
surrounded by five boxes named "Dimension". However some of them (in that
particular example one) is drawn wrong: the box is on the right spot, but
the label seems to be at 0,0. It seems to happen whenever the boxes are
drawn from within a loop - at least all of my problems with boxes show
similar symptoms and only occur within loops.
Any ideas what goes wrong here?

input boxes;

u := 1cm;
circleit.fact(\sometxt{\bf Fakt});
fact.c = (0u, 0u);
fact.dx = fact.dy;
drawboxed(fact);
for i = 45 step 72 until 360:
circleit.dim[i](\sometxt{Dimension});
dim[i].c = 3u*right rotated i;
dim[i].dx = dim[i].dy;
drawoptions(dashed evenly);
drawboxed(dim[i]);
drawoptions();
drawarrow fact.c -- dim[i].c cutbefore bpath.fact cutafter
bpath.dim[i];
endfor;
