It seems \startstarticMPfigure ... \stopstaticMPfigure is now a wrapper for
reusable MP graphics, so auxiliary files are no longer generated. I don't
think this counts as an answer but you could use \typesetbuffer and
\startMPpage ... \stopMPpage instead. Two auxiliary PDF files with funny
names are generated.
\startbuffer[center]
\startMPpage
draw fullcircle scaled 2cm ;
dotlabel.bot(textext("(0,0)"),origin) ;
\stopMPpage
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[radius]
\startMPpage
draw fullcircle scaled 2cm ;
drawarrow (0,0)--(1cm,0) ;
label.bot(textext("$r$"),(5mm,0)) ;
\stopMPpage
\stopbuffer
\starttext
Circle centered \typesetbuffer[center][width=1cm] at origin with radius
\typesetbuffer[radius][width=1cm] $r=1\,\text{cm}$.
\stoptext

Jairo
