What this comes down to is that the some applications (e.g. xfig) don't
(by default) set the color used for their elements. This means whatever
the current color is when the metapost file is included will be used at
that color.

As Steffen mentioned, this is considered a feature, not a bug. 

I think the non-determinism comes down to in what order xfig or whatever
application decides to export the layers. AFAIK, there's no good way to
control this, which is why I wish I could turn this "feature" off
easily.
