forget about metafun in plain ... it cooperates with mkiv and it's very
unlikely that i'll ever make it generic
ok , but this also doesn't work
 \pdfoutput=1
 \setmplibformat{plain}
 \mplibcode
   beginfig(1) ;
       draw fullcircle
           scaled 10cm
           withcolor red
           withpen pencircle xscaled 4mm yscaled 2mm rotated 30 ;
       label(btex Foo etex,(0bp,0bp));
...
There is no btex .. etex in mplib, at all.
So there are no others way to put a text in a btex ...etex fashion ?
well, you can set up some kind of mechanism that eventually produces a 
picture that mp can handle, or roll out your own code

anyhow, i see not much reason for spending time on that kind of support 
for plain as i have no use for it
