Description

After updating to 3.9.1 I can no longer see chat history with myself. I use my own DM as a way to keep notes, test out slash commands, etc.
Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade to 3.9.1
- Search for yourself in the top-left search bar
- Click on yourself
- No messages
Expected behavior:

Research direction
Start at the top-left search bar and self-DM flow described in the reproduction steps, then compare behavior before and after version 3.9.1. Done means previously stored self-chat messages are visible and the reproduction steps no longer produce an empty history; no file or test is named in the issue.
