When I run this:

I don't get an exception. Should metadata be throwing an exception when
a user tries to set a value that isn't in the closed set?
IIRC, the idea was that
Metadata.set(String, String)
would trust you to be doing the right thing, while
Metadata.set(Property, TypedValueOfSorts)
would sanity check what you asked of it
For example, if you look at the code for Metadata.set(Property,int) you'll
see the sanity check logic + exception throwing
So, I'd say that if Metadata.set(Property, TypedValueOfSorts) with an
invalid value isn't triggering an exception, then that's a bug.
set(String,String) would be a different matter however
