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."
