This aspect of texpict is confusing.

Picts for the MrEd back-end are different than picts for the latex
back-end. They're even separate datatypes, although they share parts of
the implementation.

I'll work on the docs to clarify this, and we'll eventually get rid of
the latex back-end.

That's the only way I know, right now. And for others who ask, I mostly
refer them to your earlier message:
