[6.00 Beta 2] Map overview: Zooming (not to close) in, all map objects vanish until zoomed out again

When zooming in (but not to close) over a certain part of the map, all map objects vanish and nothing is seen anymore. This may be WAI or a bug, and also already happened in 6.00 Beta 1, however in this case it blocks the player from certain information, additionally it wasn't that close.

Please have a look at the screenshot and also the short 30sec video.

This can happen in 5.10 too if the subject of interest is well above the elliptic. You can suffer from 2 possible issues (and sometimes both):

1: You were not perfectly centred on the subject and/or not with a perfectly perpendicular viewpoint to the elliptic, so when you zoom you go further off centre and the subject is outside the fov.
2: You can zoom the viewpoint past the subject and so be below it and therefore no longer able to see it.

Of course if the subject is close to the elliptic then this explanation cannot apply and so this is a different and beta issue.
