The third example does not produce what is expected.
what did you expect?
\startuseMPgraphic{brouillon} draw btex brouillon etex ; currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ;
this command scales (vertically) the brouillon to \overlayheight -3 cm. This is very large
\stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[brouillon][\uniqueMPgraphic{brouillon}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=brouillon]
and this one centers your graphic (the large brouillon) on the page.
I should say that I am not enough self-confidence to change the file cont-sys.tex as suggested by Patrick...
If you get some results from btex...etex, you don't have to. Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!
