I am pretty sure that there is nothing in the Clojure compiler that pays attention to the key :internal in metadata.
People can put whatever metadata they want anywhere they wish, even if the Clojure compiler ignores it. This looks like some metadata specific to pallet, but not sure whether it uses it for anything other than for the purposes of a hint to people reading the code. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about pallet will correct that guess if it is wrong.
