weird, there used to be a procset line ... anyhow, maybe this works ok 
at your end (meta-pdf.lua):

local function parse(m_data)
     if find(m_data,"%%%%BeginResource: procset mpost") then
      -- report_mptopdf("using sparse scanner, case 1")
         lpegmatch(captures_new,m_data)
     elseif find(m_data,"%%%%BeginProlog%s*%S+(.-)%%%%EndProlog") then
      -- report_mptopdf("using sparse scanner, case 2")
         lpegmatch(captures_new,m_data)
     else
      -- report_mptopdf("using verbose ps scanner")
         lpegmatch(captures_old,m_data)
     end
end
