Personally, I believe this is a bug. Hans always runs with all
three switches true, so he never has any problems, but Mojca and I
also regularly have issues like this. The last of those was the
incorrect scaling of sometxt() in \runmpgraphicsfalse reported
two or three weeks back.
Hans, can you look at this, please? Or, if you don't want to support
\runmpgraphics false any more, document that somewhere.
Best, Taco
