Do I miss something or is this a bug?

This is a bug. Thanks for the report. I have fixed it on the github dev
branch, and will upload a new version soon.

In case anyone is interested, this is what was happening:

Context parses the parameter of `\useMPgraphic` to determine the MP
instance. The code was using

     \useMPgraphic{\visualcounterparameter\c!mp}

`\useMPgraphic` does not expand its arguments, so the proper MP instance
was not initialized. Changed the above line to

     \expanded{\useMPgraphic{\visualcounterparameter\c!mp}}

and now style and color parameters work.

even if it would expand, then we still can have an issue when the definer uses a macro as that one doesn't get expanded either, like:

\starttext

\def\xxx{x}

\startuseMPgraphic {\xxx 1} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ; \stopuseMPgraphic \startuniqueMPgraphic{\xxx 1} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic

\def\xxx{xx}

    \useMPgraphic{x1}
    \uniqueMPgraphic{x1}

\stoptext

this is seldom an issue, but for convenience I patched the definers and resolvers so that the first argument gets expanded (next upload)
