Advanced SEO: Front Page Meta Description doesn't show in Previews

[mahangu]

When entered under My Sites > Settings >SEO, the Front Page Meta Description text shows up on the frontend of the site (as ameta tag, in the page source), but it does not show up in the Previews of the site that you can get to from the Settings > SEO screen.

Steps to reproduce

1. Load the My Sites > Settings > SEO page of any Business plan site - https://wordpress.com/settings/seo/
2. Scroll down to 'Website Meta'
3. Enter some text in the 'Front Page Meta Description'
4. Click 'Save Settings' in the 'Website Meta' box
5. Click the 'Show Previews' button

What I expected

The Front Page Meta Description text should show up in the Google / Facebook / Twitter Previews.

What happened instead

The Front Page Meta description I entered did not show up in any of the Previews.
