The recently added Metafun hexagons seem to be producing octagons
instead:
\startMPpage
        fill fullhexagon scaled 100;
        draw unithexagon scaled 50 withcolor white;
    \stopMPpage
Of course, for an MP circle is defined by 8 points.
draw textext(decimal length unitcircle) ;
i'll change it to octagon (was only used for some envelope tracing 
experiment)
\startMPcode
fullhexagon := for i=0 upto 5 : .5dir(60i) -- endfor cycle ;
unithexagon := fullhexagon shifted (.5,.5) ;

draw fullhexagon scaled 1cm ;
draw unithexagon scaled 1cm withcolor red ;
draw unitcircle  scaled 1cm withcolor red ;
draw fullcircle  scaled 1cm ;
\stopMPcode
