Comment:

 I'm having the same problem. For editor and above, my code to check and
 save metadata works as desired. For author, the basic post data is saved,
 but by the time my save_tour_fields_meta() function is called, $_POST is
 empty.

 The capabilities for author vs. editor are below. I've removed
 delete_published_posts and moderate_comments from the author role. I tried
 it without removing those, but still no joy.

 WP_Role::__set_state(array(
    'name' => 'author',
    'capabilities' =>
   array (
     'edit_published_posts' => true,
     'publish_posts' => true,
     'read' => true,
     'level_2' => true,
     'level_1' => true,
     'level_0' => true,
     'edit_posts' => true,
     'upload_files' => true,
     'delete_posts' => true,
     'edit_post' => true,
   ),
 ))
