Comment:

 Turns out I was just using it wrong, though, maybe there needs to be a
 dumb-proofing of `meta_query` for people like me. Instead of an array of
 arrays, I was just passing in an array:

 {{{
 $args['meta_query'] = array( 'key' => $meta_key );
 }}}

 That creates some strange SQL. I really should have been doing:

 {{{
 $args['meta_query'] = array( array( 'key' => $meta_key ) );
 }}}
