Description
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/runs/4067253219?check_suite_focus=true had this test fail in 1/6 sytest runs.
I wondered if the changes in #1160 had unintentionally introduced some kind of flakey problem. But the failure in that link does not arise from running sytest on synapse with workers (the usual suspect for for flakiness). That was a surprise.
Raising this so we can track any future sightings.

Research direction
Start with the linked CI run and the “New federated private chats get full presence information (SYN-115)” sytest, then compare the failing run with the other five runs. Review the changes in #1160 and watch for future sightings; done means the flakiness is reproduced and its cause is identified or the tracking issue is updated with clear evidence.
