That is the error I was referring to.  It is harmless.  I think it
appears on line 6 of test.mp (not of Diagram1.mp).

Using the embedded metapost (emp) package, I start a running \empfile
to collect multiple metapost figures into the test.mp.  I do not ever
close out this file.  MetaPost complains, but it seems to be harmless.

The error is not with the MetaPost, but with the way I embed it in LaTeX.

Sorry about that, if you figure out how to fix it, I'm all ears.
