For node-based pages, metatag_get_instance() error intermittently occurs.

Issue Context
When an unauthenticated user visits a node-based page, the page will (intermittently) not load properly, and the following error message will be generated in the server error log:

"Message Recoverable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to metatag_get_instance() must be an array, string given, called in /var/www/[...]/sites/all/modules/metatag/metatag.module on line 706 and defined in metatag_get_instance() (line 1268 of /var/www/[...]/sites/all/modules/metatag/metatag.module)."

If an administrator (i.e., authenticated user) then visits the same node-based page, the page will load properly for the administrator. Subsequent to the page visit by the administrator, and after a refresh by the unauthenticated user, the node-based page will then load properly.

Temporary Solution
This issue was patched by making the following change to .../metatag/metatag.module:

Original code (beginning on line 702, php tags added locally):

       // Add any default tags to the mix.
      $metatags += metatag_config_load_with_defaults($instance);
        
      foreach ($metatags as $metatag => $data) {
        if ($metatag_instance = metatag_get_instance($metatag, $data)) {
          $output[$metatag] = $metatag_instance->getElement($options);
        }
     }

Revised code (new conditional, php tags added locally):

       // Add any default tags to the mix.
      $metatags += metatag_config_load_with_defaults($instance);
        
      foreach ($metatags as $metatag => $data) {
        if (gettype($data) != 'array') {
          continue;
        }
        if ($metatag_instance = metatag_get_instance($metatag, $data)) {
          $output[$metatag] = $metatag_instance->getElement($options);
        }
     }

Question
Would it be possible/desirable to have the small code addition added to future releases of the metatag module?
