For the record, after reading Mojca's MyWay, and noting that textext is deprecated
except in certain circumstances, I have ended up with the following:

\definetextext[mplabel]{\framed[frame=off,align=right,width=fit]}
\startMPcode
label.rt(\sometxt[mplabel]{One\\Two},origin);
\stopMPcode

Thanks everyone.
