Button on a CollectionView's EmptyView is not clickable on Windows

[KeithBoynton]

Description

If you put a Button on an EmptyView within a CollectionView it is not Clickable on Windows. It works fine in iOS and MacCatalyst. I haven't tested it on Android but I imagine it probably works there too.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the attached demo repository and run it on Windows.
2. Try to click the button that is inside the EmptyView (it will not work)
3. Try to click the button below the view (it will work)
4. Run it on iOS, MacCatalyst
5. Try to click the button that is inside the EmptyView (it WILL work)

Also, try adding:

<Label.FormattedText>
                <FormattedString>
                    <Span Text="Nothing to show here... " />
                    <Span Text="yet" TextColor="Blue">
                        <Span.GestureRecognizers>
                            <TapGestureRecognizer
                                Tapped="OnYetLabelTapped" />
                        </Span.GestureRecognizers>
                    </Span>
                </FormattedString>
            </Label.FormattedText>

The Tapped event won’t happen either…
