RootViewWithoutFocusException when trying to apply a ViewMutation "behind" a dialog

[cmathew]

Describe the bug
Since 2.0.0, mutations can only be applied to Views of the currently focused root.

To Reproduce

1. Navigate to a screen that displays some content
2. Open a bottom sheet
3. Try to apply a ViewMutation to the content from step 1. Be sure to supply a correct inRoot modifier to your ViewInteraction
4. See error: androidx.test.espresso.base.RootViewPicker$RootViewWithoutFocusException: Waited for the root of the view hierarchy to have window focus and not request layout for 10 seconds. If you specified a non default root matcher, it may be picking a root that never takes focus

Expected behavior
ViewMutations should work on any root, regardless of state

Additional context
This may be an Espresso-level limitation - can it be ignored somehow?
