Link to minimal reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-rm74vp?file=src/App.vue

Steps to reproduce

Just try to edit non tag-wrapped text inside template

What is expected?

HMR will work well, edited text will stay actual

What is actually happening?

Runtime error

TypeError: Cannot set properties of null (setting 'nodeValue')

Any additional comments?

The bug is clearly related to the fact that the template uses variables obtained asynchronously. In my case - joke

Seems to be a duplicate of #6852. Note the current direct use of Text as a child of Fragment is problematic.

@posva @edison1105 The problem has been feedback from many people, hope to increase the priority.

@zhangzhonghe thanks. close as duplicated.
