Metafun textext() has been changed in an attempt to be more efficient. 
However, this has a side effet that it now handles colors differently, 
among other things. The following example, intended to cause 
difficulties for the color blind, no longer works. Is this a bug or a 
feature?
\starttext
\startMPcode
picture T ;
T := thelabel(textext("I'm seeing double"),origin) ;
draw T withcolor green ;
draw T shifted (-1mm,1mm) withcolor blue ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Since the beginning of MkIV, colors in metapost labels need to be set at 
the ConTeXt end (Untested):

T := thelabel(textext("\color[blue]{I'm seeing double}"), origin);
