This is nedeed an annoying side effect. It has to do with the fact that
a page gets a topskip (by default) and it happens that this text is <
topskip so it gets moved down in the page builder. I've added an option
to the makeup commands ( location=top ). Mp pages are fitting pages and
these are makeups. So, the next beta will behave better (for tex as well
as mp pages).
In practice topskip will not kick in that often as MPpages are normally
larger. Compare
\startMPpage
label(btex foo etex,origin) ysized 11pt ;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
label(btex foo etex,origin) ysized 10pt ;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
label(btex foo etex,origin) ysized 9pt ;
\stopMPpage
