Luckily, not many metadata changes have been made since this started, but I still had to raw edit some of them to fix the metadat. For anyone in the same situation, a raw edit can be done as:

Board_Thread:Board_Title/@comment-Username_That_Performed_Edit-yyyyMMddHHmmss?oldid=Edit_ID_Number&action=edit

A simpler solution then is to go into thread history, click on a relevant "diff" link for the first message, click on the "Latest revision" link, and then append "&action=edit" to the end of the resulting URL and go to that URL to do the raw edit. You still have to know what you are doing in regards to what metadata you add, otherwise things can end up a whole lot worse.
