 I have created a modification locally to wp_insert_post. If I understand
 correctly, this was the result you were wanting to achieve with the above
 code?

 I'll push a patch.

 The meta key items above were generated from the following code

 {{{#!php
 <?php
         $new_post = wp_insert_post(
                         array(
                                         'post_title' => 'Test Develop',
                                         'post_name' => 'Test Develop',
                                         'meta_input' => array(
                                                         'key_1' => 1,
                                                         'key_2' => 'some
 string value',
                                                         'key_3' =>
 '15.51',
                                                         'visited_states'
 => array(
 'Massachusetts',
 'Rhode Island',
 'Washington',
                                                         ),
                                         )
                         )
         );
 }}}
