 Ah, interesting. I think that was an unintended side effect. Note how it
 is not specified anywhere else. The meta_query inner arrays take 'key',
 'value', 'compare', and 'type'. When we convert standard query vars (like
 meta_key and meta_value) into a meta_query, we ended up looping over all
 of the possible values for meta_query, rather than the existing standard
 query variables.
