All-black screengrabs using grim

Sway Version: 1.9 (I also tested on a fairly recent git, but just downgraded to see if that would fix the issue)

I'm getting all-black screenshots using grim. I wasn't sure where the bug is, but it seems more like the issue is on sway's side, based on the wayland debug log. The file is created and is the right size, but has all zeroes.

I grabbed the logs from nested sway because it's easier, but the same thing happens in non-nested mode.
