just tried your code with pdftex 1.40.8beta and context beta from 
07.06.2008. it works ok here.

i will test this with yesterday beta after lunch. probably the mkiv part 
is also working then. so if you want staticmpfigure to work, you have to 
update your 'ancient' context and the pdftex binaries. :)

edit: too late, you have already tested it. and as mentioned: mkii is 
also working!

best wishes, peter
