I expect a point thats set to clamp to the terrain to do so without causing things to vanish.
What happens is it's entity-associated billboard vanishes when its heightReference is set to CLAMP_TO_GROUND or RELATIVE_TO_GROUND

Research direction
Run the linked Sandcastle reproduction in Chrome on macOS and inspect the Entity point property behavior when heightReference is set to CLAMP_TO_GROUND or RELATIVE_TO_GROUND. Trace the associated billboard handling and verify that the billboard remains visible while the point is clamped to terrain.
