this is currently an open question. I have implemented EmptyClipPath for
renderPM, but haven't got round to it in renderPDF/PS/SVG etc. The idea
is correct you assign EmptyClipPath to the clip path and it is cleared.

The problem is that normally that would require us to restoreState in
PDF so I have to ensure we saved one every time we do that (or
equivalent).
