Bug: Conditional formatting is filled with a solid color when all values are blank/0

I am using conditional formatting (scales) on a table. When I slice my data in a way that results in all values in the column to be blank, the conditional formatting uses the darkest version of the color. I would expect it to be white/blank. Is there a workaround?

Example: here is my pipeline table that has dollar values at each stage by sales person, and I have it sliced so there are no dollars for "Gain Commitment". That column should be white (like other $0 cells such as the last one for "Build Value"). This happens if the values are all zeros, or all blanks (as below).
