Description

### What is affected?

Accessibility, Component

### Description

When I close a dialog by pressing the "esc" key the dialog closes but the scrim remains, which I wouldn't expect it to.

### Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-nzeagr?file=index.html

### Workaround

I guess you could query for the presence of the scrim onClose and delete it if you found it.

### Is this a regression?

No or unsure. This never worked, or I haven't tried before.

### Affected versions

Failing in v1.1.1 and v1.0.0

### Browser/OS/Node environment

Browser: Edge 120.0.2210.133
OS: Windows 11 10.0.22621
Node: v18.18.0
NPM: v10.2.3

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and inspect the dialog and scrim behavior when Escape closes the dialog. Trace the relevant Material Web component entry point and verify that the scrim is removed after closing with Escape, while preserving normal dialog closing behavior.
