The type hierarchy for the kinds of thing that get put into item metadata in the MDA just now isn't all that complicated, so I would not expect that bug to cause problems.

The MDA does depend on ordering, though, which I guess is why the API of the class is defined in terms of List rather than Set or Collection.  For example, one internal use for the item metadata is to record the stages which have processed an item.  Just replacing the List with a Set would break that.
