I looked at a half-dozen random examples of zero scored meta rules and
none of then had suppressed sub-rules. I didn't recurse them very
thoroughly though, but here's an obvious one:

score FROM_FMBLA_NDBLOCKED 0 # __FROM_FMBLA_NDBLOCKED

__FROM_FMBLA_NDBLOCKED is an askdns rule that used by nothing but
FROM_FMBLA_NDBLOCKED, and it's not redefined in KAM_deadweight2_sub.cf


One thing I noticed is:

meta  __RCVD_IN_ZEN   0
meta  __RCVD_IN_DNSWL 0

which will presumably turn-off RCVD_IN_SBL, RCVD_IN_SBL_CSS, and the
various RCVD_IN_DNSWL_* rules. 

There's also:

meta __RCVD_IN_LASHBACK 0
meta __RCVD_IN_HOSTKARMA 0
meta __RCVD_IN_RPBL 0
meta __RCVD_IN_SORBS 0
meta __RCVD_IN_IADB 0
meta __RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_B 0
meta __RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L 0
