     new          FrameworkPropertyMetadata(string.Empty,
        FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.Journal | 
     FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault,
        defaultMetadata.PropertyChangedCallback,
        new CoerceValueCallback(CoerceText)

Here is an example of a class derived from TextBox overriding the metadata for the Text property:

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;

public class MyTextBox : TextBox
{
    static MyTextBox()
    {
        TextBox.TextProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(MyTextBox),
            new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(string.Empty,
                FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault |
                FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.Journal,
                null, /* property changed callback */
                null, /* coerce value callback */
                true, /* is animation prohibited */
                UpdateSourceTrigger.LostFocus));
    }
}

Notice that the override is place in the static constructor, not the ordinary constructor.
