But that doesn't work in mkii then unless some other "hacks" are added.
(I know, mkii and mkiv are not compatible, but there are no obvious
limitations why they could not work in the same way.)

(In the particular case of gnuplot, I have no idea how to deal with
that situation without a bunch of extra work since it's not so simple
to convert some color from metapost variable into one that ConTeXt
accepts in \color[...]. I have \chardef\TeXtextcolormode\zerocount in
mkii, but I still consider it ugly.)
In the case of XeTeX: no, it's not normal. If you add
\loadmapfile[lm-ec.map] this solves the problem, but if I was on your
place, I would use \sometxt{COPYRIGHT} instead of btex COPYRIGHT etex.
Loading map files has been removed from XeTeX a while ago. Maybe lm-ec
should be added back for such cases? (I remember some problems with
btex etex in past after map files have been removed, but I don't
remember solving anything at that time.)
