This is a change in behavior, see the patch description. We now always
sanitize an object's contents, but only store/update the metadata when
it fits. I'll update the patch title, as it might sound confusing, as
it kind of implies we're not changing the behavior.

No, this isn't possible. Will turn this into a warning and add a comment.

Thanks!
