Default River play with 2nd nut straight - reraise surprising fish raise?

This hand came up during a mutual swetting session with tyler_cracker. (Highly recommended, by the way; tyler had some great suggestions about my game; head over to the coaching thread or drop me a PM if you're interested in a session or two).

Anyway, both villans are lose-passive fish (roughly 50/4/.8). No specific reads unfortunately. I'm unsure of the correct line on the river here. At the time, I was startled by MP2's river raise, so I just called. (Thought he might be slowplaying a straight and was willing to push when the FD missed). Tyler rightly accused me of MUBS, and asked why I didn't three bet.

On further reflection, I think my call may have been OK. Assuming that MP1 will call one more bet but not two, a call gets us the same number of bets as a raise if we're ahead, but costs us fewer bets if we're behind. Thoughts?
