Correct, there is no simple way to avoid this. In order to have
good performance the interactors simply scale/translate/rotate the
previous offscreen buffer. For most SVG documents the time to render
them from scratch is far too long to update the screen smoothly during
pan/zoom operations.
Ideally in the background we would be updating as best we could
and refreshing the offscreen image as we are able, but doing that
is really quite complex, and you can quickly end up just thrashing
the processor.

The overflow is needed if you are panning to areas that used to
be outside of the viewBox. In this case you are still within the
viewBox, but we just don't have a rendered version of the areas.
