I don't understand what is the purpose of asking about indentation of
a line that is completely invisible.  current-indentation skips
invisible characters, so if everything is invisible, why do you expect
any useful result?

Technically, the difference between the two results is because
current-indentation tries to account for the ellipsis (which is
present in the first case but not in the second).  But that's not
relevant to the larger issue at hand here.

Bottom line: I think you are hitting undefined behavior here.
