Metadata attaches to the form following it, so I would read this (with my
Clojure Reader hat on) as:

(                   read list begin
  meta          read symbol
  #_              read and discard next form
    ^              read meta and form, then apply meta to form
      :hello     read keyword
      []            read vector
    ...             apply :hello as meta to []
  ...               discard [] with metadata
)                   end list

which would yield a final form: (meta), which should throw an arity
exception. So looks correct to me.
