During an interrupted transition, the clip for the current state is replaced with the last pose evaluated by the Animator, and blended with the clip for the next state. So there is effectively no clip playing for the current state, and only the clip playing for the next state, even though in this case the current state and the next state both share the same clip.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “AnimatorTest.zip” project
2. Open the “Assets/Scenes/SampleScene.unity” scene
3. Enter the Play Mode
4. Observe the Console window

Expected results: GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo() returns “current clip is [NameOfCurrentClip]“
Actual results: GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo() returns "current clip is none!"

Reproducible with: 2021.3.32f1, 2022.3.14f1, 2023.2.0f1, 2023.3.0a15

Reproducible on: Windows 11
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested
