Some code that worked ok but hasn't been used for some time, now gives
an error: missing $.
It is working fine in ConTeXt, but putting it inside an MPpage goes wrong.

That was a tricky one to nail down ... it related to the fact that have \{ and \} have a different meaning when we flush metapost text (makes me wonder if that is still needed)

this helps

\installmathfencepair
  \letteropenbrace \Lbrace
  \letterclosebrace \Rbrace


Here a minimal example, the output of the ConTeXt run and the error on
the MPpage run.
Has something changed I missed?

The error occurs in this code, my suspect is the cases macro.
\starttext
\startsetups[dif-1]
$\displaystyle
\Delta_{in} = 1000_2 \cases{(A,2)(2,A)&\cr (6,E)(E,6)&\cr}
\buildrel S_1 \over \rightarrow \quad
\Delta_{uit} = 1011_2 \cases{(6,D)(D,6)&\cr (B,0)(0,B)&\cr}
$
\stopsetups
\startMPpage
label("\setup[dif-1]",origin);
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

The ConTeXt run itself is ok, see below

\starttext
\startsetups[dif-1]
$\displaystyle
\Delta_{in} = 1000_2 \cases{(A,2)(2,A)&\cr (6,E)(E,6)&\cr}
\buildrel S_1 \over \rightarrow \quad
\Delta_{uit} = 1011_2 \cases{(6,D)(D,6)&\cr (B,0)(0,B)&\cr}
$
\stopsetups
\setup[dif-1]
\stoptext
