I finally managed to contrive two simple examples, one that works here and one that doesn't.

The next code typeset with texexec --pdf with lines commented OUT does work:

\setupcolors[state=start]
\usetypescript[luc]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]
\startMPenvironment
        \usetypescript[luc]
        \setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]
\stopMPenvironment

\definecolor[gray][s=.825]
\definecolor[yellow][r=.625,g=.625]
\setupMPpage[offset=1pt,background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]

\startuseMPgraphic{standalone}
        draw (0,0)--(100,0)--(100,50)--(50,50)--(50,100)--(0,100)--(0,0);
label (textext("cornerstone"), (10,5)) rotated 45 withcolor \MPcolor {yellow};
\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext
%%%%%%%%%%\startMPpage
        \includeMPgraphic{standalone}
%%%%%%%%%%\stopMPpage
\stoptext

When I remove the %'s it does not work.
The first below is the wrong one, showing unknown, the second one correctly shows the word cornerstone.
Is the conclusion correct that it could be something with \startMPpage?

Followup to my previous post (see below)
I executed the code on the "live tex site" and, mirabile dictu, there it works. The difference I can see is a much older pdfetex (Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)) on the live site, whereas I have a newer one (Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)).
Could that be the problem or must I dig deeper?

It is not likely that this is the problem, unless you have
'stray' pdfetex executables floating around (with different
version numbers) in other folders.

It is more likely there is some interference with your pre-existing
teTeX 3, but without the actual output and log files I do not know
what to suggest as next step.
