I have a problem producing an ampersand in metapost. In ConTeXt it works
as expected. Have a look at the following example.
\starttext
\&  % OK
\startMPcode
label(textext("\&"),origin); % produces error
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
The compile time error message is as follows:
  ! Misplaced alignment tab character&.
  l.1 \MPLIBsettext{1}{&
\letterpercent
Or maybe \letterampersand if you want to get the desired glyph :)

Alternatively you could try to use
    label(\sometxt{\&},origin);
