Description
### Provide a general summary of the issue here
When combobox `menuTrigger` is set to `focus`, clicking the ModalOverlay does not close an open combobox.
```jsx
Item 1
Item 2
```
This was working correctly in react-aria-components version `1.16.0`, but after upgrading to `1.17.0`, clicking the modal overlay no longer closes the combobox popover.
The issue seems specific to menuTrigger="focus" since menuTrigger="input" and menuTrigger="manual" still working correctly.
### 🤔 Expected Behavior?
The combobox popover should close when the modal overlay is clicked.
### 😯 Current Behavior
The combobox popover remains open after clicking the modal overlay.

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and compare react-aria-components 1.17.0 with 1.16.0, focusing on the ComboBox behavior when menuTrigger="focus". Verify the existing input and manual triggers as controls; done means clicking the ModalOverlay closes the open combobox popover without regressing those triggers.
