Can't update text input value to empty string programatically about riot

[acb]

I've been playing around with it a bit more to try to figure this out, including deleting my entire Riot project and reducing it to just this tag that I have as an example to eliminate any chance that we were doing something weird in the project.

I've found that toggling inputs to empty strings works fine on Riot 2.6.9 but breaks as soon as I update to 3.0.0 or higher (I tried 4+ as well, all the way up to 9). Additionally, something interesting, when I installed riot-compiler in order to compile 4+ when I downgraded back to 2.6.9 the text input issue persisted even after a fresh recompile. I had to uninstall riot-compiler before 2.6.9 would start working again.

Now I'm wondering if this is some issue with the compiler? We've been using riotify through grunt to do our build. The relevant part of the compiler function is here in case it helps:

        var projectDir = SOURCE_DIR + '/projects/' + project
        var projectFile = projectDir + '/index.js'
        var out = DEST_DIR + '/' + target + '/js/' + project + '.js'

        var componentFiles = grunt.file.expand(projectDir + '/**/*.tag')
        if(allComps) {
            componentFiles = componentFiles.concat(grunt.file.expand(SOURCE_DIR + '/components/**/*.tag'))
        }

        var componentRequire = ';'
        for (var i = 0; i < componentFiles.length; i++) {
          componentRequire = componentRequire + 'require("'+componentFiles[i]+'");'
        }

        var fs = require('fs');
        var browserify = require('browserify');
        var watchify = require('watchify');
        var riotify = require('riotify');

        var b = watchify(browserify({
          cache: {},
          packageCache: {},
          fullPaths: true,
          debug: sourcemap,
        }))
          .external(['riot'])
          .transform(riotify, { expr: true })
          .transform(function (file, o) {
            var content = '';
            return file.match(projectDir+'/tags.js') == null ? through() : through(
              function (chunk) { // write
                content += chunk.toString();
              },
              function () { // end
                try {
                  this.queue(
                      '"use strict"\n\n' +
                      '\n\n' +
                      componentRequire +
                      '\n\n' +
                      content
                    );
                  this.emit('end');
                } catch (e) {
                  this.emit('error', e);
                }
              }
            );
          })
          .require(projectFile, { entry: true })
          .require(componentFiles)
          .on('update', bundle)
          .on('log', function(msg) {
                console.log((new Date).toString() + ': ' + msg);
            })
          .on('error', console.log);

        function bundle () {
          b.bundle()
          .on('error', function (err) { console.log('Error: ' + err.message); })
          .pipe(fs.createWriteStream(out));
        }

        bundle();
