`eval` role sometimes returns no outputs if previous cell ends with semicolon

[agoose77]

Describe the bug

context When I create a Markdown cell (in particular notebooks) with an eval role.

expectation I expected the expression to produce a visible output.

bug But instead I see nothing. This seems to happen when the previous cell has an output-suppressing semicolon. Using pass instead seems to fix this.

Reproduce the bug

TBD.
