Hi Hans
Well, I am not Hans, but perhaps I might add a comment:

I am placing metapost figures in the text:
could you provide a small non-working example (that we can run thru
TeX)?
The following works fine here:
% interface=en output=pdf
\starttext
\def\mycommand#1{%
        \startuseMPgraphic{somegraphic}
        drawdot origin;
        label.top(textext("#1", origin);
        \stopuseMPgraphic
   \useMPgraphic{somegraphic}}
\mycommand{Hello Hans}
\stoptext
\setMPtext{some tag}{some text}

\startMPcode draw textext(\MPstring{some tag}) ; \stopMPcode

For Patrick who reads sources:

%D To be documented:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \setMPtext{identifier}{text}
%D
%D \MPtext  {identifier}
%D \MPstring{identifier}
%D \MPbetex {identifier}
%D \stoptyping
