Comment (by JordanPak):

 I just debugged and traced through WP_Term_Query for a while to find this
 same issue: `get_terms_args` is too late for the `orderby` arg to be
 `meta_value_num`. I'm using `get_terms_defaults` for now as well, but if
 this can't be patched there should at least be a disclaimer in the
 `get_terms_args` that it won't work?
