Comment:

 Thanks for your continued work on this, Funkatronic. It's funny - your
 "lapse in coding judgment" actually worked, because the
 `array_key_exists()` check would resolve to true or false as appropriate,
 meaning that the previous logic actually worked, though of course it was
 not straightforward and perhaps accidental :)

 Regarding the 'parse_orderby' filter: I'm going to remove it, as per our
 informal policy of not adding filters to SQL fragments unless they're
 absolutely necessary. Anyway, there is already a filter 'posts_orderby'
 that does essentially the same thing.

 I'm going to do a bit more documentation cleanup and review, and then I
 think we're good to go with this. Thanks for the ticket and for the help
 in getting this enhancement ready to go.
