PieChart: When using a SliceGrouper, zooming or breaking slice displays group slice again + the actual grouped slices

[chirmac]

Bug description

When I create a Pie Chart, and wish to update its data from a server, in this case, using am5.load utility, the SliceGrouper stops working correctly. However I try it, I can't get it to work. If I simply create a new one on the root, it will create a new "other" slice inside the actual grouped slice. If I dispose the previous grouper and create a new one, same thing happens.

I made a simple example using await Promise below to show what is happening: https://codepen.io/axglxieg-the-scripter/pen/pomJYEb

Environment (if applicable)

I'm using amCharts 5.9.7, in the latest version of Edge, in a .Net 8 MVC project, with WebPack and TypeScript.

Additional context

Creating a new object, setting the old one, removing the old one and create a new one, all of them create a glitch, either a missing slice or another wrong slice inside the grouped one

It seems SliceGrouper does not register data update on the target series. We'll need to figure this out.

Thanks for the heads up!
