Here's an almost minimal example:

\def\abc{1cm}

\startMPextensions
a := \abc;
color b;
b := \MPcolor{currentcolor};
\stopMPextensions

\def\abc{3cm}

\starttext
\startcolor[blue]
\startMPcode
fill fullcircle scaled a withcolor b;
\stopMPcode
\stopcolor
\stoptext

The old ConTeXt draws a blue circle with diameter 3cm and the new
ConTeXt draws a black circle with diameter 1cm. Which one is right?
From a recent message by Hans:

It seems that ConTeXt now parses everything inside MPextensions
earlier than it did before and I don't have the slightest idea how to
account for this in the module without a major rewrite. In case that
Hans wants to keep the new functionality, I either need [quite some]
help with the module or I'll simply stick to TeX Live 2012 for the
foreseeable future ;)
