the i in the loop is always a picture but the macro pathpath extracts
the path information. for clipped and bounded objects these paths are
the clip or setbounds paths.

you need more since fontpart and textpart do not include the
transformations applied to the text. But, since i in a
  for i within a_picture
is always a picture, text elements can be handled easily with
addto ... also i ; The test for textual and textpart/fontpart
is only needed if you really want to work with the text-information.

In order to rewrite all text in blue it should be enough to say:
if textual i:
  addto tmp_pic also i withcolor blue ;
fi;
