Adding "prologues := 1;" solved the problem.
One of the never-ending questions of my life (aside "What is the goal of my life?" and similar trivialities) is why this is actually not a default in MetaPost. Well, it isn't.

Well, that question at least I can answer. Had it been the default, I would have saved a few hours of wasted time, and the gods would have been forced to punish me some other way.
A few hours after applying your fix, I discovered that the Dia->MP export created some font problems (especially if I wanted to use LaTeX math-mode in text), and I ended up sending my Dia diagram to the bit afterworld and doing the diagram in PGF. <sigh>
