You need to call the setglobalmacro(...) macro. The code inside \startMPinitializations is only executed when you call any MP environment. But you are using \udCount before \useMPgraphic. A simple solution is to run dummy MP code so that MP initializations are run:
\starttext
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\startMPcode draw unitcircle; \stopMPcode}
\dorecurse{\udCount}
{\useMPgraphic{foldUD}{num=\recurselevel}}
{\useMPgraphic{dotLines}{num=\recurselevel}}
\stoptext
