V3 block default field values not saved on first save when only InnerBlocks are edited (autoInlineEditing: true) — regression since 6.6.2 fix

[xxvii]

ACF V3 blocks with autoInlineEditing: true do not commit field default_value to block attrs on first save, unless the user explicitly interacts with an ACF field before saving. The ACF 6.6.2 changelog states this was fixed ("V3 Blocks now save default field values even if the block wasn't interacted with before saving"), but the fix does not apply when only InnerBlocks are edited.

Additionally, after saving a page containing such a block for the first time, the Gutenberg save button re-activates — suggesting ACF is modifying post_content server-side after the save, causing the editor to detect a content mismatch. When two or more instances of the same block are on the same page, only the last one has defaults correctly applied after the second save.

To Reproduce

Register a V3 ACF block with autoInlineEditing: true containing a select field with a default_value and an InnerBlocks area.
Insert the block on a page. The ACF field shows the default value in the editor sidebar (client-side only — expected).
Edit one of the block's InnerBlocks (e.g. type in the paragraph) or do not edit anything at all. Do not touch the ACF select field.
Click Save.
Reload the page in the editor.
Inspect the block — the ACF field is empty in the DB; default_value was not committed.

Expected behavior

The default_value for each field should be committed to block attrs on the first save, consistent with the fix described in the 6.6.2 changelog. The save button should remain disabled after saving with no server-side content mismatch.

Code
block.json:

{
  "name": "acf/my-block",
  "title": "My Block",
  "acf": {
    "blockVersion": 3,
    "autoInlineEditing": true,
    "usePostMeta": false,
    "renderTemplate": "my-block.php"
  },
  "apiVersion": 3
}

my-block.php:

<?php
$layout = get_field( 'layout' ) ?: 'left';
?>
<div class="my-block" data-layout="<?php echo esc_attr( $layout ); ?>">
    <InnerBlocks />
</div>

Field group JSON: (drag and drop the exported field group containing the layout select field with default_value: "left", allow_null: 0, assigned to acf/my-block)

Additional context

Confirmed on a clean WordPress install with no plugins except ACF PRO 6.8.1. Custom theme hooks were ruled out by testing on a bare theme.
The save button re-activation suggests ACF's server-side processing modifies the serialized block comment after save, causing Gutenberg to detect a mismatch between what the editor sent and what the server returned.
The bug appears specific to autoInlineEditing: true — worth verifying whether the 6.6.2 fix only covers blocks without inline editing.
