You do not need yshifted. But you need to set the bounding box of the 
resulting image correctly.

\startuniqueMPgraphic{Label}
  path p; p := (0,0) -- (OverlayWidth,0);
  draw p withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .667red;
  setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox OverlayBox ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
