New in RN 0.54, Android only: using display: none and position: absolute together doesn't work right

[aarondail]

Basically, if you use the styles display: none and position: absolute on a component the component will still be rendered. On Android. iOS works ok. This used to be fine (at least as of 0.52.2).

Environment

Environment:
  OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
  Node: 9.8.0
  Yarn: 1.5.1
  npm: 5.6.0
  Watchman: 4.5.0
  Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b
  Android Studio: 2.3 AI-162.3934792

Packages: (wanted => installed)
  react: ^16.3.0-alpha.1 => 16.3.0-alpha.2
  react-native: 0.54.2 => 0.54.2

Expected Behavior

A component with style display: none should never be rendered.

Here is an example of a component using both styles:

        <View style={{
          position: 'absolute',
          display: 'none',
          bottom: 100,
          left: -30,
          backgroundColor: 'blue',
          borderColor: 'red',
          borderWidth: 9,
        }}>
          <Text> Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey </Text>
        </View>

If I add that to my App.js, and run it, this is what it looks like on iOS:

I.e. its not rendered, as expected :)

Actual Behavior

This is the same code as above, just running on Android. Note that the element is visible (and actually left: -30 is also not working)

Steps to Reproduce

Create a sample app using react-native init

Paste this into the App.js file, inside the render() method, before the final </View> (for me between lines 35 and 36):

        <View style={{
          position: 'absolute',
          display: 'none',
          bottom: 100,
          left: -30,
          backgroundColor: 'blue',
          borderColor: 'red',
          borderWidth: 9,
        }}>
          <Text> Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey </Text>
        </View>

Run it on iOS. Observe the View is not rendered. Run it on Android. Observe that it is.

Same issue here, completely breaks the app I am working on. Will have to find a workaround until this is fixed.
