Craig, This sounds like it's actually the result of a *fix* that's in the new player. If an object's _alpha is set to zero, it shouldn't be displayed at all - however, there were some issues with rendering device text with alpha, which is due to the limited font information the host platform passes back. However, as I understand it, the flash 8 player has much improved font rendering capabilities.
So on a player level, this is expected behavior - it's just one of those unfortunate cases where a bug becomes a fact of life, and fixing it ends up causing problems. I'd say - design for the new player.
