Description
### Provide a general summary of the issue here
Hello everyone,
I once have already reported this bug but we thought it was due to duplicated versions of the library in my env. I was able to reproduce in a sandbox so here is the bug report.
When I click the button in the combobox and I have dynamic sections (uncontrolled), as soon as I start searching, the field stops working and It throws a console error:
'Uncaught Error: childNodes is not supported' .
### 🤔 Expected Behavior?
The field should should not throw an error and should allow to filter the list.
### 😯 Current Behavior
The field stops working and throws an error.
### 💁 Possible Solution
_No response_
### 🔦 Context
The issue is currently affecting us. We are building our new design system and a grouped combobox is currently needed.
### 🖥️ Steps to Reproduce
https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/nifty-violet-vr6pgf
Here you can find a minimal example of the problem.
1: Click on the button
2: Type a letter (I always do it with T and I am able to reproduce always)
3: Field is unresponsive
Better reproduce the steps relatively fast.

Research direction
Start by running the linked CodeSandbox with React Aria Components 1.14.0, following the three reproduction steps for a combobox with dynamic sections. Inspect the combobox behavior when searching after opening it, and confirm the fix by ensuring Chrome does not report the childNodes error and the grouped list remains filterable.
