 I don't have any post meta in a fresh install.  That's what I see, which
 is totally confusing.  "Enter New" is what I'm trying to do: enter a new
 post meta.

 If we don't apply the patch above, we need to show the text field (without
 the cancel link) if there's no select dropdown.

 Regardless of whether we apply the patch above, we should consider getting
 rid of the JS fanciness and just adding some text between the select
 dropdown and the text field:

 "-- OR --", "Select a meta name above or add a new one below", ...
