Comment (by johnbillion):

 This seems to be a lot of work when the simplest solution would be to
 remove the query which populates the meta keys dropdown entirely. The
 default behaviour would fall back to a text input for the meta key, and
 the `postmeta_form_keys` filter could still be used on sites which want to
 provide a list of keys.
