Short description of error
At first I thought that the effect doesn't care if the part of the stroke is actually visible or not, but that isn't the case: if you hide a GP object in another object it will disappear.
What I think is happening is that the effect holds out areas where there would be a stroke, but that check doesn't include whether or not that part of the stroke is actually being drawn (because it is obscured). I think the screenshots and the file might demonstrate it better.
All of the other effects seem to respect the geometry of the scene properly, so I think this is a bug and not a technical limitation.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Add a Grease Pencil object.
  2. Add some geometry that obscures it
  3. Add the Glow effect

@Gloria (GloriaTheAnimator) You need go to the VFX panel. To display the effect, be sure to be in Render mode.
