I am not surprised it fails. Most metapost code in mkiv is run at
least twice for some reason, and so equations tend to fail. You could
try with

   \startMPpage
   newBox.a(\sometxt{hello world});
   a.c := origin;
   drawObj(a);
   \stopMPpage


but even then it depends on what newBox does internally.

Best wishes,
Taco
