Just tested it again, and I think I had it backwards.  This fails
(2006.09.28 22:43 beta):

===========================
\runMPgraphicstrue
\runMPTEXgraphicsfalse
\starttext

\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}
label(btex sun etex, origin);
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\reuseMPgraphic{fig}

\stoptext
===========================

This works:

===========================
\runMPgraphicstrue
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue
\starttext

\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}
label(btex sun etex, origin);
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\reuseMPgraphic{fig}

\stoptext
===========================

Should one always turn on runMPTEXgraphics along with runMPgraphics?
Or just give up on btex..etex and use \sometxt, which works fine with
either setting of runMPTEXgraphics?
