I have problems with the register macro in MetaFun.

When I try
====================================================================== 
\setupcolors    [state=start]

\starttext
\definelayer    [test]

\startuseMPgraphic{oeps}
  path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 6cm ;
  fill p withcolor .8white ;
  draw p withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .625red ;
  register ("somepos-1",0cm,0cm,center currentpicture) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\setMPlayer [test] [somepos-1] [location=c]
  {Does it work all right?}

\getMPlayer [test]{\useMPgraphic{oeps}}
\stoptext
======================================================================

(which is essentially copied from the manual) in ConTeXt live I get the
following error message

======================================================================
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).

No pages of output.

Am I doing something wrong or is the register functionality broken in
ConTeXt 2006.10.13?
