Comment (by kadamwhite):

 @TimothyBlynJacobs @spacedmonkey I'd appreciate a second opinion about
 this ticket versus #55600. I feel personally that we should _not_ write a
 default meta value to the database if no meta value is present yet — that
 is, fix this issue described here, and close #55600. Because if I'm
 reading them correctly they feel incompatible with each other. However, I
 may be missing something.
