Description
### Provide a general summary of the issue here
We use Asynchronous loading with useComboBox.
We use useAsyncList as shown in the [documentation](https://react-aria.adobe.com/ComboBox/useComboBox.html#asynchronous-loading).
When we write something and the API returns no results, the next call does not update the comonent items, even if there are matching results.
We thought it was a bug on our side but we saw that the provided example had the same problem.
### 🤔 Expected Behavior?
Pressing "backspace" after writing "luka" should show "Luke Skywalker"
### 😯 Current Behavior
Pressing "backspace" after writing "luka" still doesn't show the results
### 💁 Possible Solution

Research direction
Open the asynchronous-loading useComboBox documentation example and reproduce the sequence: search for "luka" until the list is empty, then press backspace. Inspect the useComboBox and useAsyncList entry points involved in updating the ListBox; done means the matching result appears after the second request, including after an empty response.
