Is it correct that the use of textext(label,pos) in MetApost pictures does not honor \crlf?
I could not make a twoline text with textext("abc\crlf xyz",pos), it comes out as one line "abcxyz".
Is it a feature or a defect?

textext("...") is a hbox. So you need to either use

textext("\vbox{... \crlf ...}")

or

textext("\noexpand\framed[align=normal]{... \crlf ...}")

Thanks. That solves the problem. 
I obviously missed the fact that textext is an \hbox, a fact that explains its behaviour.
