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
