you see the message: LuaTeX warning (file cmr10): Font cmr10 at 3000 not found

You are right, though I had unwisely ignored it (weak excuse below).

so you need to load a map file that matches the used fonts: \loadmapfile[mkiv-base]

That does fix it, thanks.

The warning message, which is helpful, seems to happen only with a relatively recent LuaTeX. In my earlier tests, with 0.78, there wasn't a message, and also with the luatex in Debian's TL2014 there isn't one (which is why I ignored it).

Debian's TL has luatex beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/Debian) (rev 4971)

The version in the context standalone is just a bit later:

beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972)

Hard to believe that one svn revision makes all the difference, but maybe it does.

I've added a "--mapfiles" option to "mtxrun --script metapost" (the more modern replacement for mptopdf) and default to some base map files. Will be in next beta. In context itself (when embedding such graphics) one still need to include those map files. However, when using mp graphics in context, it makes much more sense to define them runtime. Alternatively, you can consider making your mp graphics like this: \startMPpage some code \stopMPpage This will use the regular font system, gives access to everything context as well, and makes it possible to opentype fonts. The resulting (cropped) graphic can of course be included. One can also have more of them: \starttext \startMPpage some code \stopMPpage \startMPpage some code \stopMPpage \stoptext and include the pages selectively.
