For example, zooming into a vertically scrolling page should not cause content to be hidden to one side

This happens by default when using pinch on a Macbook, or when using AT with Zoom functionality like Supernova etc. This because they don;'t trigger the CSS Media Query.

My suggestion would be to re-write the sentence to include the specific zoom for which this would apply, like the default browser zoom functionality.

My experience with user testing and people with low vision is that most of them don't even use browser zoom when they have AT, even so a big percentage of them do not even know about browser zoom and MQs.
