I thought that you were using MKII.

Well, if nothing else works, you can always cheat.
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
userdata.labels = {
[1] = "ABC" ,
[2] = "DEF" ,
[3] = "GHI" }
function userdata.shift(i)
return "(" .. i .. "cm ," .. i .. "cm )"
end
function userdata.draw(i)
return "draw btex " .. userdata.labels[i] .. " etex shifted "..
userdata.shift(i) .. ";"
end
\stopluacode
\starttext
\startluacode
context.startMPpage({offset = "1ex", width = [[\paperwidth]], height =
[[\paperheight]]})
for i = 1,3 do
context(userdata.draw(i))
end
context.stopMPpage()
\stopluacode
\stoptext
