'Binary entry * has unexpected keys "path"' when running meson setup on rust project

[lf-]

Describe the bug
When using the tracing crate it generates a bunch of warnings Binary entry * has unexpected keys "path".

To Reproduce

https://gist.github.com/lf-/00ea95184017a3e7a9ab92f0a3eef432

[package]
name = "meowmeow"
edition = "2021"

[lib]
path = "lib.rs"

[dependencies]
tracing = "0.1.41"
# just don't need log
tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3.19", default-features = false, features = ["std", "fmt", "ansi", "smallvec", "env-filter"] }

project('meowmeow', 'rust')

tracing = dependency('tracing-0.1-rs')
tracing_subscriber = dependency('tracing-subscriber-0.3-rs')
meson.override_dependency('tracing-subscriber-0.3-rs', tracing_subscriber)

static_library(
  sources : [ './lib.rs' ],
  language : 'rust',
  dependencies : [tracing, tracing_subscriber],
)

Do this:

git clone https://gist.github.com/lf-/00ea95184017a3e7a9ab92f0a3eef432 bug && cd bug && meson setup build

Expected behavior
Should not generate these warnings. Also idk what the deal is with the features being ignored in cargo.toml and putting new wrong ones in a meson file I can't find (tracing-log is not enabled, it seems like it's ignoring default-features!), that seems buggy too.

Probably this:

meson/mesonbuild/cargo/interpreter.py

Lines 487 to 490 in 211f1ca

	if not cached:
	# This is an entry point, always enable the 'default' feature.
	# FIXME: We should have a Meson option similar to `cargo build --no-default-features`
	self._enable_feature(pkg, 'default')

• what Python version are you using: 3.12.8
• what meson --version: 1.7.99 (commit d995cbc)
