This is now solved with some help from Mike Heins.

I had been trying to set the query using meta data and had also tried
something like:

[table-editor
	widget.room_id=select
	lookup_query.room_id="SELECT room_id, room_name
			    FROM listing_rooms
			    WHERE listing_id = [scratch listing_item_id]
				"
	no_top=1
]

This method was incorrectly escaping the query and passing it
literally to MySQL.

Mike gave me this solution:

[table-editor
	widget.room_id=select
	lookup_query.room_id=`
				$Scratch->{listing_item_id} =~ s/\D+//g;
				return qq{
			    SELECT room_id, room_name
			    FROM listing_rooms
			    WHERE listing_id = $Scratch->{listing_item_id}
				};
			`
	no_top=1
]

With the query correctly escaped it works much better. :)
