trouble with xetex and metapost

trouble with xetex and metapost

[Jesse Alama]

Using MkII (ver: 2009.01.09 16:57 MKII fmt: 2009.1.11 int:
english/english), XeTeX (3.1415926-2.2-0.999.6 (Web2C 7.5.7)), and
metapost (Version 1.005 (Web2C 7.5.7)), and metafun (2008-10-19 15:21),
I run into some trouble with \usestaticMPfigure:

  [snip]
  systems         : end file texexec-mpgraph-temp at line 62
  system          : cont-err loaded
  (/usr/local/texlive/2008/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-err.tex
  systems         : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead
  ) )
  Output written on texexec-mpgraph-temp.dvi (3 pages, 324 bytes).
  Transcript written on texexec-mpgraph-temp.log.

  This is MetaPost, Version 1.005 (Web2C 7.5.7)

  ! A group begun on line 144 never ended.
  <to be read again> 
                     normalend
  end->...message.metafunversion;message"";normalend
                                                    ;
  l.182 end
           .;
  ? 

Any idea what might be going on?

Thanks,

Jesse

I forgot to add that I don't get this error when compiling with pdftex.
