[pytx] No match results if creating a local_file with only 1 hash in it

[Dcallies]

Repo:

$ tx hash photo pdq/data/bridge-mods/aaa-orig.jpg >> local_file.txt
$ tx config collab edit local_file file_backed_bank.txt --filename ~/file_backed_bank.txt  --create
$ tx fetch
$ tx match photo pdq/data/bridge-mods/aaa-orig.jpg 

Expected: any matches However, oddly enough, adding a second hash allows all hashes to to match

$ tx hash photo pdq/data/bridge-mods/blur-a-little.jpg >> local_file.txt
$ tx fetch
$ tx match -A photo pdq/data/bridge-mods/aaa-orig.jpg 
pdq 4 (file_backed_bank.txt) INVESTIGATION_SEED
pdq 0 (file_backed_bank.txt) INVESTIGATION_SEED

This bug shows up in HMA as well, adding repro in case it's helpful. For this repro to work, HMA (previously OpenMediaMatch) should be running as a docker container and serving localhost:8080

Reset the tables:

$ docker-compose exec app flask --app OpenMediaMatch.app reset_all_tables

Create a bank:

--data '{

{"matching_enabled_ratio":1.0,"name":"EVIL_CONTENT_BANK"}'

Add a file to the bank:

$ curl --location 'localhost:8080/c/bank/EVIL_CONTENT_BANK/content' \

Rebuild indexes:

$ docker-compose exec app flask --app OpenMediaMatch.app build_indices

Query the bank:

$ curl --location 'localhost:8080/m/lookup?signal_type=pdq&signal=3517f92351b0e69170c9656ba70c1249d258926d6d65bd2cbcb49cb34bd1c4fb'
[]

As you can see, the lookup incorrectly returns no matches even though there should be a match. Adding a second photo, reindexing, and then querying again returns a match:

$ curl --location 'localhost:8080/c/bank/EVIL_CONTENT_BANK/content' \
--form 'photo=@"<second photo path>"'
