\startreusableMPgraphic{omcirkeld}
   draw fullcircle xyscaled (OverlayWidth)
      withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth
      withcolor OverlayLineColor ;
  path b ; b := boundingbox currentpicture ;
  currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (-.05*EmWidth,0*ExHeight) ;
  setbounds currentpicture to b enlarged 3pt ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

You can prevent the clipping by enlarging the boundingbox a bit; for 
illustrative purposes, you can add an extra line:

draw boundingbox currentpicture withcolor red ;

to see what this box is

since backgrounds are centered a larger boundingbox does not hurt

hm, what do you want to achieve here? the foreground can be accessed, for 
special purposes, like in

background={graphic-1,graphic-2,foreground,graphic-3}

there is also foregroundcolor, which cna be used for a 'non interefering' 
coloring of content

with regards to the macro: you should set the font outsite the framed, so 
that it will adapt itself to the font characteristics. Also, \font is not 
needed:

you probably want to use the serif, so

\def\FransP
   {\midaligned{\definedfont[Whow][PFont sa 1]\omcirkeld....}

Instead of PFont you can use a name but indirectness makes this macro 
useable in other docs with other fonts:

    \definefontsynonym[PFont][Serif]  % or [PFont] 
[oneoffransoldstylefonts] or whatever

etc etc etc
