Lovely! This applies to ConTeXt's default font size of 12pt, doesn't  
it? Hence we would have the following linear relation if the thickness  
is 0.4pt at 10pt font size:

thickness = 0.4pt * fontsize/10pt.

Judging from the following:

---
\startuseMPgraphic{rule}
      linecap := butt;
      defaultrulethickness := 0.4pt*BodyFontSize/10pt;

      path p;
      p := origin--(EmWidth,0);
      draw p withpen pencircle scaled defaultrulethickness;
\stopuseMPgraphic


\starttext

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

\startformula
     \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}\!\vcenter{\useMPgraphic{rule}}
\stopformula

\setupbodyfont[32pt]

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

\startformula
     \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}\!\vcenter{\useMPgraphic{rule}}
\stopformula

\setupbodyfont[72pt]

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

\startformula
     \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}\!\vcenter{\useMPgraphic{rule}}
\stopformula

\stoptext

this seems to be true in general. (Hans, Taco, can you confirm this  
officially?)

Could one perhaps pass "DefaultRuleThickness" on to MetaFun just as  
the variables "BodyFontSize", "ExHeight" etc. are made available?

Best,
Oliver
