The top-down MMOs I've played have line-of-sight fog-of-war while in caves/buildings (with limited range smaller than the screen in caves), which has the same issue. The clients have access to invisible things so they can accurately predict when they move - including when they become visible - and correct a split second later if the prediction was wrong.
