I tried to take the test which determines "whether language 
information is picked up from the Content Language meta element".

<http://www.w3.org/International/tests/sec-lang-decl-3>

The page says about the source code of that page that «A meta 
statement appears in the head element as follows: <meta 
http-equiv="Content-Language" content="ko"/>.»

However, when I examine the source code, then there isn't any such 
  meta element.

You also said that

However, this is not my experinse. Some UAs will detect the 
language of the meta tag. Some might even attach several languages 
  at once, as I remember, if the META specifies several languages.

But we can discuss this when the test cas is updated or clarified, 
in case I misunderstood something ...
