I think that's exactly what happened... because the next thing we heard after they disappeared was the bringing in of Tedder and the concentration in songs Songs SONGS!!!i think the idea that "invisible" fell flat live is shared by U2, and the reason for the album delay.
it's a great song on record, and it was reasonably popular so it made the cut for the tour, but i think they got freaked out about how the so-called DM album was going to translate live.
we can talk about how we want slinky grooves and "experimental" U2 and think this says something about our taste level -- but if it doesn't translate live, it's not happening for them.
Reading Bono's comments re the album and tour - he said it wasn't quite finished, tour next year, "but you might see a few things in September or October"
I just assumed he meant iHeart Radio and Dreamforce - I'm not so sure that is all he meant. Given both shows are already announced, he had no reason whatsoever to be so coy. I wonder if he is covertly confirming a release schedule.

Once again; Invisible fits in very well thematically, but would have stood out like a sore thumb sonically.

The real issue I had was them sticking it at the end of the final track on the bonus disc after a load of silence, like bands used to do with hidden tracks on CDs. And also, making the acoustic session one bloody track on the disc?!
Shit, I didn't even know Invisible was an extra track until a few days ago. The alternate version of Troubles is so bad I never listened again, so I never stumbled upon it.
