[tex-live] metapost and relative paths (labels fail)

a bit more careful this time
assume a dir structure:
t2.mp
sub/t1.mp
t2.mp:
beginfig(1);
draw fullcircle scaled 3cm;
label(btex $A$ etex, origin);
endfig;
end;
t1.mp:
verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
etex
input "../t2.mp"
end;
if I go to 'sub' and run
mpost t1.mp
I get the following error:
This is MetaPost, version 1.208 (kpathsea version 5.0.0)
(./t1.mp (../t2.mp
>> t2.mp
>> t2.mpx
! Unable to make mpx file.
l.3 label(btex
$A$ etex, origin);
Transcript written on t1.log.
it seems the labeling feature want to create a mpx file for the included
file
this is a bit contrary to the way TeX handles input.
Is this a feature or a bug in mpost?
if t2.mp is moved to
sub/subsub/t2.mp
and we include that instead, I get a similar error.
Any ideas as to what have changed, and how this can be fixed?
