I can confirm that TL19 mptopdf does not work as it use to do

Below is an MWE

I tested with TL18 and there I get numbered PDFs. However mptopdf is version 1.4.1 in both. However I diffed TL19 version against TL18 version. They are not the same

Subject: mptopdf output file not numbered.

System: Windows 10, Tex Live 2019

I am using mpost and mptopdf to create PDF drawings.

For example,

> vim my_figure.mp<http://my_figure.mp>
(create figures)
> mpost my_figure.mp<http://my_figure.mp>
This is MetaPost, version 2.0 (Tex Live 2019/W32Tex)
...
20 output files written to: my_figure.1 .. my_figure.20
Transcript written on my_figure.log.
> mptopdf my_figure.*
(lots of output messages)
MPtoPDF 1.4.1 : my_figure.* is converted to  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf +  my_figure.pdf

As you can see, instead of generating my_figure-1.pdf ... my_figure-20.pdf, all the converted files are written to my_figure.pdf, overwriting the previous figures.

I have not had this problem before with earlier versions of TeX Live.
Has the behavior of mptopdf changed recently, or is there something wrong with my installation of TeX Live 2019?
