Anyone else noticed this bug with data fetching in canvas apps?

Greetings, community. Anyone else noticed intermittent "glitches" with the data that Power Apps returns? I am working with the Dataverse, and I have records I know have values but show blank in Power Apps. If I change some controls or use some kind of "data" control, then the app correctly starts to pull the values. This randomly happens.

 

As an example, here's a record that has a Choice value selected in the Dataverse:

1. In my canvas app, here's what I get when I set that record in a variable (NOTE: I use a Coalesce to get the record, meaning COALESCE(Record1,Record2) ) and try to reference the VersionStatus property in a label:

2. If I add an EXPLICIT reference to the status property (e.g., use a LookUp), then it suddenly gets returned by the app:

3. And when I go back to the previous code, it works:

SUPER annoying. I've wondered if this is somehow a glitch with the Explicit Column Selection feature that I think was put into GA and made default in apps. I haven't figured out a way to fix this behavior.
