What if each of the Metamind levels wherein they did not get "+1 level of existing manifesting class," they got a power called "Psychic Wellspring?"
Psychic Wellspring (Su): The first level metamind taps into his psychic wellspring, drawing a constant trickle of psionic power from his inner mind. He cannot hold it for long, but there's always more if it doesn't get used. Each round, he gains 1 free, temporary power point which he may spend as if it were part of his own reserves or the pp stored in any other source. It goes away if unspent before the next one becomes available. At level 3, he gains 2pp in this fashion each round. This further improves by 1pp at levels 5, 7, and 9 (for totals of 3, 4, and 5pp he gets for free each round).
The most broken thing I can think of off the top of my head is that any metamind with Bestow Power can freely recharge anybody he likes once he reaches level 6 in he PrC. It stacks interestingly with Wild Surge, though, admittedly. This could be handled by explicit callout, the way Bestow Power specifically calls out that it can't be put into a psionic item.
