History-sharing-on-invite: key bundles from unknown senders are ignored when "Exclude insecure devices" is set #5770

Description

@richvdh

Suppose Alice and Bob do not currently share a room.

  • Alice invites Bob to an encrypted room, and shares history.
  • Bob receives the to-device message, including the sender_device_keys, but he does not yet have a copy of Alice's identity key.
  • He is therefore unable to verify the cross-signature on the device in sender_device_keys, and ignores the to-device message
