Description
### Is this a regression?
- [X] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
14.2.7
### Description
If the error message is rendered within a block element (we have some error message which are from a database and have a div element), an extra space is added. If this done by design, maybe it should also be mentioned in the docs?
Look at this example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/g5mias?file=src%2Fexample%2Fform-field-error-example.html
### Reproduction

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz example at src/example/form-field-error-example.html and reproduce the issue by focusing and blurring the field. Compare the Angular 16 Material error rendering with the expected placement; done means block-element error content appears directly beneath the input without the extra 16px gap.
