This is getting weirder. The bug is triggered even for the following
example:
\startMPpage
rboxit.A (textext("A")) ;
rboxit.B1 (textext("B")) ;
rboxit.B2 (textext("C")) ;
A.c = origin ;
xpart B1.c = xpart B2.c = xpart A.c + 3cm ;
ypart B1.s - ypart B2.n = 1cm ;
drawboxed(A,B1,B2) ;
\stopMPpage
but disappears if I replace B1 with Ba and B2 with Bb!
