Comment (by redsweater):

 Ryan - thanks for taking this bug and running with it.

 I applied the patch and it doesn't address the crux of the problem, that
 XMLRPC clients are unable to update '_' prefixed custom fields.

 Is it possible that in post.php it was a mistake to add the "||
 is_hidden_meta( $meta->meta_key )" clause to the tests that bail out on
 editing or deleting a custom field value?
