Description
Is it possible to set initially selectedOption (using selectedValue maybe, if it is defined) as lastFocusedOption and then only options[0]?
Something like
return lastFocusedOption && options.indexOf(lastFocusedOption) > -1
? lastFocusedOption
: selectedOption || options[0];

Research direction
Start by tracing the dropdown focus logic that uses lastFocusedOption, selectedOption, and options. Reproduce the first-open behavior, then verify that an initially selected option receives the highlight while options[0] remains the fallback when no selected option is available.
