So, you should try this command:

mpto -tex 2MS2.mp

tex-based labels in metapost are not simply created by one
program, but a number of programs called in turn. For
simplicity's sake, the relevant commands are normally hidden.

I was hoping for an error message, because mpto is supposedly
the failed command. Do you know how to direct its normal output
to a file? I assume there is an error message eventually.
