It's getting better... It now returns the correct count with the following code:

$this->find(
        'count', array(
          'joins' => array(
            array(
              'table' => 'posts',
              'type' => 'left',
              'conditions' => array(
                'MetaTag.post_id' => 'Post.id'
              )
            )
          ),
          'conditions' => array(
            'MetaTag.id' => $this->id(),
            'Post.user_id' => $user->id(),
          )
        )
      )

Still, its produced SQL statement seems a bit strange... it creates 2
joins! Both are called "posts", but the 2nd is aliased "Post".

Query: SELECT COUNT(*) AS `count` FROM `meta_tags` AS `MetaTag` left
JOIN posts  ON (`MetaTag`.`post_id` = 'Post.id') LEFT JOIN `posts` AS
`Post` ON (`MetaTag`.`post_id` = `Post`.`id`)  WHERE `MetaTag`.`id` =
'1601' AND `Post`.`user_id` = 1103

Is this normal? What's it for?
