Mhh, I think Patrick is playing games with us ;)

Your examples (old and new one) doesn't work anymore at contextgarden
(black square with "unknown" text). The good news: it's still working
here. Maybe I should stop testing your examples, as long as my system
works ;)

Just tried your old example *without* \runMPgraphicstrue and it worked
again. This is really strange.
