You are getting exactly what you ask.  Maybe not what you think you ask. 

|| is not a bar line, it is a visual separator.  It can appear in the middle 
of a bar, and the way you have coded this excerpt, in the middle of the bar 
is just where it appears every time.

What you want is probably

   Meter: 0/2

Thank you Dirk, I missed some finer details of mtx/pmx meter/bar line 
encoding. Your answer tells me two things: a) MTX does not see a pickup 
in my example since '||' is not recognised as bar line (am I right?) 
and b) that bars of length "brevis" should be noted 0/2 and not 8/2. 
The PMX manual has indeed a section on bars with "n/1", but what is the 
aim of that feature? Where's the difference?

regards Bernhard

Indeed.  You could code 
  d0 c | || f d c9
which will recognize the pickup but print a double bar line.

Not quite. 8/2 is fully legal.  0/2 is the M-Tx abbreviation for "treat the 
whole input line as one big bar, but check that it contains an integer number 
of half-notes".  In the manual it is (somewhat misleadingly) called "barless 
music".
