Comment (by tharsheblows):

 @rmccue Yes, I think so. Otherwise `register_meta( 'post', $meta_key,
 array( 'auth_callback' => 'new_callback' ) )` doesn't work as intended.
 It'd be best if it did from now when the REST API has just been included
 in core and people are starting to use it, especially since meta has been
 separate from the WP-API plugin up until not too long ago.

 Attached is patch with an additional unit test.
