The function 

metatag_page_build()

contains some logic handling a frontpage. In that logic 

metatag_cache_get()

is called with a special CID for the frontpage.

But the correct data is is never stored for that CID!

Therefore I suggest equal logic in 

metatag_generate_entity_metatags()

to switch to a modified CID when processing the frontpage.

How to reproduce:

  1. Create a taxonomy term and configure it as frontpage in /admin/config/system/site-information
  2. Set some metatag data for that term.
  3. Create a panel page matching /taxonomy/term/%taxonomy_term
  4. The metadata should be rendered into the page which is not done.

Out of interest, did you try disabling the "global:frontpage" definition in admin/config/search/metatags?

This is by design - if you want to use an entity for the homepage you have to disable the "global:frontpage" configuration.
