How about this rewording:
"A special use case is a combobox where its text input field has DOM
focus and role="combobox", and that element employs an
aria-activedescendant attribute to reference the currently active
listbox option. The referenced listbox option is not in fact a
descendant of the input nor combobox. Even so, the
aria-activedescendant property is treated by user agents as the active
descendant of the combobox."
