write_metadata doesn't send a packet to the controller.

No.  write_metadata is an instruction that is always executed after
actions such as resubmit.

To use metadata and multiple tables together, you must either use an
action (such as reg_load or set_field) to set the metadata before using
resubmit, or use write_metadata followed by the goto_table instruction
(since the ordering of those is correct for what you want to do).
