Let me put it this way: When MetaPost is run from within texexec, no 
mpxerr.log is generated. When I run MetaPost myself on the test-mpgraph.mp
without the above inclusion, mpxerr.log is generated and reads:

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I'll pretend you didn't say \long or \outer or \global.

What I am doing now is using texexec --automp myfile after editing
myfile.tex by including a second example:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\mainlanguage[de]
\useencoding[win]

\runMPgraphicstrue
%\protectbufferstrue

%  Hack, um " nicht als active character zu definieren,
%  während Metapost bearbeitet wird
\appendtoks \let\handlecompoundcharacter\string \to \everyMPgraphic

\setupbodyfont
  [sansserif, 18pt]

\startMPinclusions
verbatimtex
\newif\ifloadfontfileonce
etex
\stopMPinclusions

\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{beispiel}
label(btex Hallo Welt etex, origin);
\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{beispiel}

\startuseMPgraphic{voorbeeld}
label(btex Hallo wereld etex, origin);
\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{voorbeeld}

\stoptext

This produces the "Unable to ..." messages, only twice now. Now I run
MetaPost on the myfile-mpgraph.mp file. It contains only the second 
example, but it compiles ok, and the resulting file myfile-mpgraph.2 
looks like proper Postscript to me.

Now I repeat texexec --automp on the tex file, which compiles without an 
error. This is the transcript:

Sadly, now test-mpgraph.1 and test-mpgraph.2 are identical, a "diff" between 
both renders no output.

The problems appeared after reinstalling TeXLive 6 underneath a newer ConTeXt.

Any help is appreciated.
