Vega renders in Jupyter Lab (3.0.14) but does not render in Voila (0.2.9)

likely similar issue to this one:
#166

Thanks @gunstonej.

Linking to #846 which might help streamline the Voila frontend and make it more similar to JupyterLab.

just checked this in v0.5.0rc0:

seems to be working, though i get this Javascript error

[jgunstone]

FYI just double checked this in v0.5.5 and it still appears to work but still shows the Javascript error
