Subject: MP keyword function: string parameters no longer accept string variables directly

Hi---
Here's another apparent change on the MP side---for keyword functions, string parameters no longer accept string variables directly. They do seem to register them (hasparameter => true) but don't capture the value (getparameter => 0). Thus:
system > ConTeXt ver: 2021.07.16 22:03 LMTX fmt: 2021.7.21 int: english/english
metapost > trace > This is MPLIB for LuaMetaTeX, version 3.11, running in scaled mode.

metapost > trace > >> true
metapost > trace > >> "fuschia"
metapost > trace > >> "string variable fuschia = fuschia ..."
metapost > trace > >> true
metapost > trace > >> 0
metapost > trace > >> "expression containing string variable fuschia = fuschia ..."
metapost > trace > >> true
metapost > trace > >> "fuschia"
String constant: succeeds
String variable: fails
String expression with string variable: succeeds
Here's the MWE:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% system > ConTeXt ver: 2021.07.16 22:03 LMTX fmt: 2021.7.21 int: english/english

presetparameters "parameters_Test"
[
]
def Test =
applyparameters "parameters_Test" "do_Test"
enddef;
def do_Test =
pushparameters "parameters_Test";
show hasparameter "color";
show getparameter "color";
enddef;
\stopMPdefinitions

string fuschia; fuschia = "fuschia";

show "string variable fuschia = " & fuschia & " ...";
Test [ color = fuschia ];
show "expression containing string variable fuschia = " & fuschia & " ...";
Test [ color = "" & fuschia ];
