 two functions in the new metadata API reference the column named 'meta_id'
 directly, those are update_metadata and delete_metadata.  In the usermeta
 table however, this column is actually named umeta_id.  Using either of
 these two functions to update or delete user metadata results in a
 WordPress database error.

 I think the best long term solution would be to rename this column to
 'meta_id' so that it's consistent.  However, I can imagine that would
 break a few plugins.
