this is fixed already (frank forwarded me the mail); i'll send you the 
patched file

for thise who want to patch manually:

\gdef\setMPspecials|
   B\setnaturalcatcodes
    \catcode`\\=\@@escape
    \catcode`\%=\@@active
    \catcode`\[=\@@active
    \catcode`\]=\@@active
    \catcode`\{=\@@active
    \catcode`\}=\@@active
    \lccode`\-=0 | latex sets this to `\-
