`hide: - path` in front matter does not hide the navigation path

[Valerie-ts]

Context

I use breadcrumbs in my documentation, but want to hide them on the index page of my folders.
The option to hide bradcrumbs on single pages was introduced as part of 9.0.5-insiders-4.28.1, see #4875.

Bug description

The front matter of a file contains hide: - path, but the navigation path is still shown on the page.

The hidden attribute on the nav element for the breadcrumbs is set correctly but the browser (tried Firefox and Safari) still displays the breadcrumbs. It seems that hidden is overridden by CSS styling as it merely triggers browser built-in styling? The .md-path class applied to nav has display="block". I'll go out on a limb here and label this a bug.
