Comment:

 In my experience, this bug can lead to loss of data.
 It prevents post meta data from being saved, with no message to the user.
 By not creating an error my patch allows the updates that the user made to
 be applied.
 So data is not lost.

 In the announcement for WordPress 3.8.3 it was stated that "any loss of
 content is unacceptable". While I don't believe this bug deserves its own
 quickfix, I'd like it to be reconsidered.
