From what I understand about \sometxt in mkii, I don't think that 
something like \forceMPTEXcheck can work for \sometxt. If drawA always 
draws the same string, you can use \TeXtextts (see your MyWay on sometxt 
;).

\forceMPTEXcheck{drawA}

\startTeXtexts
   \TeXtext{1000}{right}
\stopTeXtexts

\startMPinclusions
       def drawA =
               draw fullcircle scaled 3cm;
               label.top(btex top etex, (0,5cm)); % OK
               label.rt(sometxt(1000), (5cm,0)); % nothing
               label.bot(textext("bottom"), (0,-5cm)); % OK
       enddef;
\stopMPinclusions
\startMPcode
drawA;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
