I remember I had such troubles when including boxes. It makes a mess when  
included in a graphic. Inluding it via \startMPinclusions makes your  
example work.

\starttext
\startMPinclusions
input metauml.mp;
\stopMPinclusions
\startuseMPgraphic{xx}
Class.A("A")()();
drawObject(A);
\stopuseMPgraphic

\placefigure[here][fig:xx]{xx}{\useMPgraphic{xx}}
\stoptext
