You can't expect two overlayed graphics to know of each others
independent applied scaling. So you need to do this:
\starttext
\startMPcode{doublefun}
path p ; p := (0,0)..(3,3.5)..(9,-3.5)..
(12,0)..(9,3.5)..(3,-3.5)..cycle;
p := p xsized TextWidth;
draw p ;
draw lmt_followtext [
text = "\dorecurse{9}{Just random text· }",
path = p,
autoscaleup = "max",
reverse=true,
] ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
