Empty text background texture appears when clearing actionbar

Summary: Currently, /title actionbar messages always have a background, regardless of the new accessibility setting (see MCPE-79331). The issue is that this background appears even when sending a blank actionbar message.
Impact: An upcoming map uses the actionbar text for subtitles. When a line is finished, we clear the text so it doesn't persist. Because of this issue, the message leaves behind a gray box for ten seconds, which is distracting but not gamebreaking by any means.
Repro Steps:
- /title @a actionbar
Expected Results: Nothing should happen if the actionbar text is already blank, otherwise it should clear it.
Observed Results: Gray rectangle appears on the screen at the actionbar slot.
Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes.
Notes: The impacted map changes the default duration of actionbar messages from 3 seconds to 10 seconds, because some subtitled lines are quite long. This exacerbates the impact of the visible box. There's also a section where the actionbar is constantly cleared, resulting in a constant gray box now.
