Hi,
Really bad things happen if the variable name in metapost contains an underscore. It took me quite a while to isolate this problem.
This is getting weirder. The bug is triggered even for the following example: \startMPpage rboxit.A (textext("A")) ; rboxit.B1 (textext("B")) ; rboxit.B2 (textext("C")) ; A.c = origin ; xpart B1.c = xpart B2.c = xpart A.c + 3cm ; ypart B1.s - ypart B2.n = 1cm ; drawboxed(A,B1,B2) ; \stopMPpage but disappears if I replace B1 with Ba and B2 with Bb!
