Description
I'm not sure why the metrics fail while the tarball succeeds but both are channel blockers so this probably should also be validated.

Research direction
Start by comparing the metrics evaluation path with the tarball path described in the issue, using the linked nixpkgs pull request and the prometheus-xmpp-alerts example. Trace where metadata attributes are validated and confirm that function-valued metadata such as overrideDerivation is handled consistently. Done means the metrics path catches this invalid attribute without breaking the successful tarball path.
