I cannot replicate it.
I equipped Cowl of Vanity with red socket, Chain of the Ancient Wyrm with purple and Plush Sash of Guzbah for 2nd purple gem in buckle. I had proper crit rating (mere 41 rating from head enchant and meta gem). Crit damage was fine, almost clear 3% (seems a bit more). I cleared cache and logged back in, was the same.
Then I replaced the gem in head to purple and bonus was still active. I tested on dummy both times, the damage was fine, crit was 103% damage.
Then I swapped my gem in head back to red. Replaced the gem in belt with a uncommon red, lost my meta stats and damage increase. Critical damage was exactly 100% increased.
Got my purple back in the belt buckle and with EoE neck I got my usual stats, 103% critical crit.
Conclusion: I can't confirm. To me the gem in belt buckle is considered for meta activation. Stats are fine, damage is fine. No oddities. Can upload screenshots on another day.
EDIT: To note, I was testing this as Affliction Warlock spec with generic 55/0/16 build. Was using Unstable Affliction for this as it's another spell that deals fixed damage.
After Ulduar patch I cleared my cache and tested it again. Got the same results as shown in my screenshots.
Gem socketed into Eternal Belt Buckle doesn't contribute towards Meta gem.

Whether it was fixed on Angrathar, I'm not sure. It doesn't work on Frosthold though pics: https://imgur.com/a/sbx6eOw I created it as new because the old one is closed and it seems that noone will come back to it.
