OIC, you prevent even setting the transform attribute when we're going to hide the text. That seems reasonable. After a little investigation it seems we DON'T delete empty slice paths, so what we're seeing from Word must be an extra automatic optimization it does to remove elements with no visible impact. I wish it extended that optimization to scaled-down text 😜
What happens if we later edit this pie, giving this slice nonzero size? Do we reuse the element - and if so do we need to clear the display: none in the if(scale) block?

I wish we could reproduce this ourselves, but some of the data we have from the Word tests suggests that there's some minimum scale that won't break things. There's certainly some size that succeeds but is already useless for practical purposes so could be deleted, somewhere between 0.1 and 0.01? Ideally we'd make this configurable but maybe we can hardcode something in that range to start?
