Thanks for the report! Seems to be due to #5789, it only occurs with position = "stack".
The following line;

ggplot2/R/position-stack.R

Line 173 in eec7490

ymax = as.numeric(ifelse(data$ymax == 0, data$ymin, data$ymax))

Causes the 0-width geometry. The early-exit point from #5789 is before the correct geometry is restored.
