I tried your suggestions and attached both the example and output. Drawing and
clipping solves the problem indeed. But using only the modified clip either does
not solve the problem, or I am just too stupid to implement your solution.

Note also that in the modified example the context output coincides with the
mptopdf output if one draws the label before calling "test" the second time. (I
marked the position in the metapost file.)

Sorry for probably getting on your nerves ...
