Indeed. Making getBBox work in the case of a zero width rectangle
would require adding lots more code complexity as the cairo graphics
library we use would not include such shapes when queried for the
bounding box. I think it would be much better to keep things simple
and ignore such shapes. If you want the shape included then give it a
small non-zero width/height hidden visibility.
