It’s recommended to use “day:ord” with \currentdate but you also use “day:+”.
\starttext
\currentdate[day,space,day:ord,space,day:+]
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] internal mptopdf converter skips some glyphs in labels
Hans Hagen writes:

I got rid of page numbering and added a few more trackers:
\enabletrackers[graphics.conversion,graphics.inclusion,fonts.mapfiles,fonts.loading,fonts.missing,fonts.mapping]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
The log file didn't look strange (I've included it below). I also
changed the label to btex $1$ etex (intead of $\Omega$), which works
fine, and diffed the context log files when making test.pdf with the
$\Omega$ figure and the $1$ figure. The only difference is at line 132,
where the $1$ version loads cmr10.pfb
) )
which makes sense, since "1" is in cmr10, and the conversion of
testfig.1 must have figured out that cmr10 was needed. But in the
$\Omega$ version, no font file is loaded.
Probably it should have loaded (and reported in the log file)
this file:
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm-math/latinmodern-math.otf
Does this help track down the problem in the jungle of map files and paths?

Good thought, which I tried, though neither setting resolved the
problem.
Any particular reason that you are compiling metapost files using mp and
then including them in ConTeXt rather than directly using any one of the
inbuilt ConTeXt environments for handling mp (\startMPcode, \useMPgraphic,
\processMPbuffer, etc.)
Mostly conservatism. I cannot quite figure out the canonical
replacement for btex ... etex (textext, sometext?), and then I get
confused by the many possible environments.
What do you recommend as the best btex...etex replacement
Nothing. Just leave them as it is and MkIV is smart enough to process
them [^1]. If you used the TEX macros (to build strings with metapost
variables), use textext("...") instead of TEX("").
and the best
environment for replacing a standalong metapost figure (that I would
otherwise just include with \externalfigure)?
I use the following:
\startcomponent figures
\startbuffer[system-1]
... mp code ..
\stopbuffer
% Other figures in separate buffer
\stopcomponent
and then use
\processMPbuffer[list of buffers]
to typeset them [^2]. With this approach you loose some of the features of
\externalfigure (scaling, backgrounds, etc.) For scaling, you can use
\scale[]{\processMPbuffer[...]}
and if you really need a background, you can use \framed.
Another option is to use \startMPcode \stopMPcode environment, but I
usually like my figures to be separate files.
[^1]: To process btex ... etex, the content of each metapost
environment is processed twice. This can sometimes lead to unexpected
results. Basically you have to careful with := vs =, otherwise you'll get
inconsistent equations.
[^2]: You also need to keep in mind that all metapost graphics are
processed in a single run (think of a single mp file with multiple
beginfigs). So you have to be careful with initializing and resetting
variables (\startMPinclusions, \startMPinitializations,
\startMPdefinitions, see wiki for difference) or adding bgroup ... egroup
at appropriate location to limit scope.
Another way to avoid interference is to use separate MPinstances, but in
my opinion that feature is more useful to module writers than normal
users.

Ah, yes, thank you!
Perhaps someone should update the wiki? I suppose I could get an
