Correct.

I use xelatex because in the unstripped version, I do use the system fonts. In beamer presentations I use Optima as text font combined with MathTime pro for math. I have used this combination for quite some time now, but when I switched to Mactex 2016, I suddenly got this problem with the counters. The solution seems to be to invoke etex until, and if, mtpro2 gets fixed.
