CodeQL Extension submits empty block to multi-repository variant analysis (MRVA)

[mrigankpawagi]

Describe the bug
When I select a query for MRVA, the extension submits an empty bundle. Every file that should have been included in the bundle, like my query, the qlpack.yml file, and the files related to all dependencies, get "ignored" because they "are outside the pack root" — as logged by the extension when it runs codeql pack bundle. As a result, and as one would expect, the MRVA jobs fail.

I have tried this with the example queries (no matter the language) in the vscode-codeql-starter repository too (after launching VSCode from their workspace) but even that gave me the same issue.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
