The way to proceed is to come up with a minimal ps or pdf file that
triggers the bug. It might help to pinpoint the problem if you can
compare a mpy-foo-mpgraph.pdf that break "pstoedit -f mpost" with
a different mpy-bla-mpgraph.pdf (or .ps) that works. Since pstoedit
mucks with ghostscript's SYSTEMDICT it isn't surprising that problems
arise for newer gs versions. Maybe it is time for ghostscript to get
an mpost driver.
