Description

It should be possible to insert a nav block with the following markup:

<!-- wp:navigation -->
<!-- wp:navigation-link {"label":"Hello world!","type":"post","id":1,"url":"http://localhost:8888/?p=1","kind":"post-type","isTopLevelLink":true} /-->
<!-- wp:navigation-link {"label":"Sample Page","type":"page","id":2,"url":"http://localhost:8888/?page_id=2","kind":"post-type","isTopLevelLink":true} /-->
<!-- /wp:navigation -->

This is important for backwards compatibility. Instances of the block that were inserted before the existence of the wp_navigation post should be retained, but also for patterns that define the block in this way.

Unfortunately this seems to have regressed (I think in #36880 and possibly partly in #36760), which seems like it could have resulted in users losing content.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Create a new post in the post editor
  2. Switch to code editor mode and paste in the above block
  3. Switch to visual editing mode.

Expected - the block should show the inner blocks
Actual - the inner blocks are deleted and the block placeholder is shown
