Strange enough, on my computer I don't see this problem. The file
contains the graphics.

Maybe some other files in /etc/texmf/web2c are interfering. metapost
pool files would be an idea. Can you send me the list of files in
/etc/texmf/web2c?
I have thee ONLY mktex.cnf!!!
There were several other files, among them a highly suspicious
plain.mem. However, removing all of them, and reinstalling the context
debian package (and thereby rebuilding the formats) did not solve the
problem. No new files ended up in /etc/texmf/web2c.
Best wishes
