Environment

Vuetify Version: 3.9.6
Vue Version: 3.5.20
OS: Windows 10 (current)

Steps to reproduce

1. See the link. The placeholder should be visible on page load but it is not.

Expected Behavior

The placeholder should be visible after the page is initially opened (on focus or always, if persistent-placeholder is set)

Actual Behavior

The placeholder is missing when the page opens. If I enter a value and then clear it, the placeholder now shows as it should.

If instead of empty string, the initial v-model value (the ref) is set to null, the placeholder shows properly.
