Skeletal mesh with cloth disappears, bounds seem wrong

I’m using SetMasterPoseComponent to attach skinned clothing to a character. On the cloth object, I have “use attached bounds” as well as increasing the bounds scale. However the clothing item keeps disappearing (flickering), unless I can see the animations root origin. Our root bone is being animated far away from the origin.

For any skeletal mesh with cloth assigned, in the editor, enable preview bounds. Now move the root bone away from the origin and watch the bounds of the mesh grow. Is this normal?

Having the exact same issue in 4.18.3. Anyone have a solution?
