As Hans explained the information is load earlier than in MkII but I can
show you why your definition can also fail in MkII.
\startcomponent myfile
\def\noffigures{1}
\def\savenoffigures
{\savecurrentvalue{\noffigures}{\getnumber[figure]}}
\appendtoks \savenoffigures \to \everystoptext
\def\shownoffigures{\noffigures}
This text has \shownoffigures.
\dorecurse{10}{\placefigure{something}{figure}}
\stopcomponent
This results always in 1 for the total number of figures.
A better definition for the countervalue is:
\def\shownoffigures
{\doifdefinedelse{noffigures}{\noffigures}{0}}
without the initial value for \noffigures.
Regards
Wolfgang
