I've been creating books for the iBookstore for over a year and haven't seen this error before. A google search for "metadatal.xml ibooks" returns only eight (irrelevant) results, so I'm guessing it's not a very common one.
I've never heard of a metadatal.xml file to be needed when uploading to iBooks. For the record, the book involved is a Sigil-produced, Flightcrew and epubCheck-3.0.1 validated epub 2 archive. The META-INF folder holds only the container.xml file and the OEBPS folder has all the requisite files: toc.ncx, content.opf, xhtml files, css file and image files.
