This actually looks like a tempest bug, there is code in the nova.compute.api where it's validating the 'metadata_items' lenght against quota_metadata_items and that's probably racing against another test in tempest that sets the global default quotas to -1 (unlimited), so the negative test fails since the quota is -1 and the server is created even though it's metadata_items are lenth 129 (128 is the default).
