Hi Kerem Yuceturk - thanks for the prompt reply, it's greatly appreciated. That's such a shame about the meta data fields in PowerApps. Do you know if there's any workaround for the current limitation? I have a gallery which is querying a pages library and needs to filter only those pages with a specific managed meta data tag. Would it be possible to map the MMD field to another field in the library using a calculated field?

Calculated columns sadly don't support showing the values for metadata columns. It is a little cumbersome, but you could write a flow to track changed items, and copy the taxonomy values over to a text based column. Make sure you don't do infinite updates by checking if the value is the same before you do an update.
