Research direction
This issue is assigned, so first check if the assignee has any open branches or progress. If not, the fix likely lies in the HTML tag rename logic, which can be found in the VS Code repository under the extensions/html language features or the editor rename contrib. Reproduce the steps to understand the current behavior and then locate the code that handles renaming paired tags when the tag content is empty.
