Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new room and invite users Alice and Bob
2. A: `hello`
3. A: `to be redacted`
4. A: redacts message `to be redacted`
5. A: redacts hidden redaction event in timeline using devtools
6. A: `after redaction redaction`
7. B: `hello`
After message 7 the chat is permanently bugged in the android app.
All further messages will be in a collapsed block.
Expanding said block shows all messages.
When the chat is reopened the block is collapsed per default annoying all users.
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
The redaction redaction should show the original message I guess?
In any case the chat should remain usable.
#### What happened instead?
The chat is permanently broken with a collapse block at the end.
## End result
> Note: I don't think it matters when the user joins.
A (black icon) and B (anime thing).
