web: the placeholder hides once the empty draft is already a block (#932)

Typing '- ' turns the paragraph into a list item — visible structure —
but pm-empty only checked text content, so the placeholder kept
rendering under the bullet. It now shows only over a bare empty
paragraph. (The iOS twin of this bug is fixed on the stage-3a branch.)
