As discussed with Johan on irc, setting bug status to 'Confirmed':

> |20:41| < johan_e> because the exporter does not know about it, it exports it anyway, hence visible in tex

The second question by the reporter:

reveals a bug in outline view mode in Inkscape stable and trunk: normally, invisible objects due to fill and stroke set to 'None' are visible and selectable in outline view mode (menu 'View > Display Mode > Outline'). This unexpectedly does not apply to text objects with fill and stroke set to 'None' (be it by an explicit style attribute of the text, or by an inherited style of the parent container (group).

Due to this bug (not related to the latex export), it is not possible to quickly detect such invisible text objects by switching to outline mode (see attached reduced test case).

The bug in outline view mode should be filed and tracked separately.
