Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 Thanks much for reporting this @caercam!

 I've uploaded a patch with a failing test.

 Unfortunately, while removing the string cast does fix the bug, it causes
 the boolean sanitization test cases for
 `test_update_value_return_success_with_same_value` to fail. We might need
 to adjust based on whether the registered meta type is scalar.
