userEvent.type not working with <input type="time">

See original GitHub issue

@testing-library/user-event version: 12.2.0
Testing Framework and version: jest:26.6.0
DOM Environment: @testing-library/jest-dom:5.11.5

Relevant code or config

import React from 'react'
import { render, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react'
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event'

function InputNumber() {
  return <input type="time" role="textbox" />
}

describe('Test <InputNumber>', () => {
  it('Update with fireEvent', () => {
    const { getByRole } = render(<InputNumber />)
    const input = getByRole('textbox')
    fireEvent.change(input, { target: { value: '01:01' } })
    expect(input.value).toBe('01:01')
  })

  it('Update with userEvent', () => {
    const { getByRole } = render(<InputNumber />)
    const input = getByRole('textbox')
    userEvent.type(input, '0101AM')
    expect(input.value).toBe('01:01') // <- FAILS
  })
})

What you did: Called userEvent.type on <input type="time">.

What happened: input.value remains "".

Problem description: It would seem that keystrokes are not making their way to the input field. I’ve tested this under both en-US and en-GB locales, the result is the same.
