Description
If the document has a YAML header the preview shows you the properties in a table.
Although this is handy while editing, I see no purpose that this is exported to HTML and PDF.
This data should be considered as metadata.

Research direction
Start by tracing how YAML header properties move from the preview table into HTML and PDF export. Reproduce the issue with a document containing a YAML header, then verify that the properties remain available as metadata but are absent from both exported formats.
