Hi,
right, the object=no value is the problem. You can solve your problem
by inserting the following macro somewhere before starttext in your
document:
\unprotect
\def\insertMPfileARG#1#2%
{\ifx\undefined\externalfigure
\message{[insert file #1 here]}%
\else
\externalfigure
[#1]
[\c!type=\c!mps,\c!object=\v!yes,
\c!symbol=\v!yes,\c!reset=\v!yes,
\c!maxwidth=,\c!maxheight=,
\c!frame=\v!off,\c!background=,
#2]%
\fi}
\protect
I changed only the "no" value from "object" to "yes".
