Attempting to interpolate anything into a textarea:

html`<textarea>${"hello"}</textarea>`

Produces a textarea with the value ""

(Which I guess is not terribly surprising since the "child is the value" behavior of textareas seems pretty nonstandard!)

Ah I guess it only breaks if the interpolated thing is the only child content. Adding some text fixes it
