Thanks for the report! Seems to be due to #5789, it only occurs with position = "stack". The following line; https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/blob/eec7490297d9b5d463f96dc8395285542923b94f/R/position-stack.R#L173 Causes the 0-width geometry. The early-exit point from #5789 is before the correct geometry is restored.
