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
### Description
When there is any HTML element inside ``, or even just the matChipRemove button is wrapped inside some `` (like with `*ngIf`, checking if the user has the privilege to delete), then the whole chip-row's value contains this element's textContent (button with `cancel` in this case) after focusing out of the component.
So for example, value `["Apple"]` becomes `["Apple cancel"]` (because `cancel` is part of ``'s textContent).
```
{{ fruit }}
cancel
```
(when `matChipRemove` button is not wrapped inside `` or any other HTML element then its textContent is being ignored, which, I guess, is correct behavior)
### Reproduction
StackBlitz link:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/ovb2sn-s41kjs?file=src%2Fapp%2Fchips-autocomplete-example.html,src%2Fapp%2Fchips-autocomplete-example.ts
Steps to reproduce:
Click on the text input and then focus it out.
This will run Material's blur/focusOut code and update the form control value with the chips' textContent which becomes `["Apple cancel"]`.
More focus in/out clicks will keep appending ` cancel` to the form control's value.
### Expected Behavior
Not appending HTML elements' textContent to chip's form control value
### Actual Behavior
HTML element's textContent is being appended to chip's form control value
### Environment
- Angular: 15+
- CDK/Material: 15+
- Browser(s): Any browser
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Any OS

Research direction
Start with the reproduction files src/app/chips-autocomplete-example.html and src/app/chips-autocomplete-example.ts, then follow the Material blur/focusOut behavior described in the issue. Confirm that focusing out does not append nested HTML textContent to the chip form-control value, including when matChipRemove is wrapped in ng-container.
