I think these two pages might hold your answers:

--------------------
"Bear in mind that the wp() call only accept query vars which are specified in the $public_query_vars and $private_query_vars arrays which are part of the WP class and these don't include anything to do with post_meta. 

The public_query_vars are those which can be specified in a url and the private_query_vars are the extra ones which can be specified only by code 

You will need to extend the list of private_query_vars which it supports to get the post_meta ones passed through"

function custom_pages_query( $query )
{
	global $wp, $wpdb;

	if( isset($_GET["meta_key"]) )
	{
		$wp->private_query_vars[] = 'meta_key';
		$query['meta_key'] = $_GET["meta_key"];
	}

	if( isset($_GET["meta_value"]) )
	{
		$wp->private_query_vars[] = 'meta_value';
		$query['meta_value'] = $_GET["meta_value"];
	}

	if( isset($_GET["post_parent"]) )
	{
		$post_parent = $_GET["post_parent"];
		$wp->private_query_vars[] = 'post_parent';

		if( !is_numeric($post_parent) )
		{
			$post_parent = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare("SELECT <code>ID</code> FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE <code>post_name</code>='%s' AND <code>post_type</code>='page' AND <code>post_status</code>='publish'"), $post_parent);

			if( NULL === $post_parent )
				$post_parent = "";
		}

		$query['post_parent'] = $post_parent;
	}

	return $query;
}
add_filter('manage_pages_query', 'custom_pages_query');
