I'd probably rule that since HiPS uses a shadow, if a creature cannot see the shadow then you're just out of luck (against that creature). Of course, others may rule differently.  It does seem like HiPS could have been worded a bit better especially relating to darkvision and true seeing.  They're not exactly obscure things in D&D.</blockquote>
