[Android, Accessibility] Modals break when pressing ESC on physical keyboard

Description

When closing a Modal with ESC key from a Bluetooth keyboard on Android,
the modal closes natively but onRequestClose callback is not invoked.
This leaves React state out of sync.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the reproducer on Android device with Bluetooth keyboard connected
2. Press "Open Modal" button
3. Press hardware BACK button or use the BACK gesture -> "onRequestClose called!" alert appears ✅
4. Press "Open Modal" again
5. Press ESC key -> Modal closes but NO alert appears ❌
6. Modal state is still 'true' in React but Modal is closed
7. Press "Open Modal" again -> Nothing happens (state is already true)

BEWARE: after the state gets stuck you cannot tap on the screen anymore, you have to reach and activate the reset state button via keyboard.

EXPECTED: ESC should call onRequestClose (like back button does)
ACTUAL: Modal closes silently without calling any callbacks

Screenshots and Videos

In the video the first modal closing is operated via Back gesture. When you see the blue outline on the buttons I am using the keyboard.

Comienza con el reproductor de Snack enlazado y el manejo de Android Modal, comparando la ruta de retroceso de hardware con el manejo de la tecla ESC. Confirma que al pulsar ESC se invoca onRequestClose y el estado del modal de React permanece sincronizado; después, verifica el mismo comportamiento en un dispositivo Android con un teclado Bluetooth.
