awaiting promises in describe blocks makes mocha ignore following it blocks

Prerequisites

• [x ] Checked that your issue hasn't already been filed by cross-referencing issues with the faq label
• [ x] Checked next-gen ES issues and syntax problems by using the same environment and/or transpiler configuration without Mocha to ensure it isn't just a feature that actually isn't supported in the environment in question or a bug in your code.
• [ x] 'Smoke tested' the code to be tested by running it outside the real test suite to get a better sense of whether the problem is in the code under test, your usage of Mocha, or Mocha itself
• Ensured that there is no discrepancy between the locally and globally installed versions of Mocha. You can find them with: node node_modules/.bin/mocha --version(Local) and mocha --version(Global). We recommend that you not install Mocha globally.

Description

awaiting a promise in a describe block makes mocha ignores all following it blocks.
One can fix the behaviour by awaiting the promise inside another it or before block.

Steps to Reproduce

I created a minimal reproduction here:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/testing-mocha-b5uca7?file=src%2Findex.js

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen]
awaiting the promise in the describe block should not make mocha ignore all following it blocks.

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]
awaiting the promise in the describe block leads to mocha never executing the following it blocks.

Reproduces how often:
consistently (100%)

Versions

• The output of mocha --version and node node_modules/.bin/mocha --version: 8.4.0
• The output of node --version: unknown (how can I detect that on stackblitz?)
