The example below illustrates what is happening:
\starttext
\startMPcode
newpicture p;
drawoptions (withcolor red);
p := image (addto currentpicture doublepath unitsquare scaled 1cm );
drawoptions ();
draw p;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
drawoptions() are used only when you use draw or fill (look up their
definition in mp-base.mpiv). textext does not use draw or fill. If you
want drawoptions to be honored, you can do something as follows:
\starttext
\startMPcode
newpicture p;
drawoptions (withcolor red);
p := image (draw textext("\tfd text"));
drawoptions ();
draw p;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
