The difficulty (with asking for help) is that you are not reporting
very well.  What do you mean by "All .. with the .. meta key .." -
only two of the four lines involve the meta key.  Tell us what *does*
happen.  There are six possible results given, in two different modes.
Which give exactly the same result; which give something (what is it);
which do nothing at all.

Or, it could be caused by the mystery problem.
