Additional info
Cause:
This issue is caused by the OCA\DAV\CalDAV\Schedule\IMipPlugin::schedule() function due to insufficient information provided from the iTipMessage generated by the Sabre\VObject\ITip\Broker::parseEventForOrganizer() function.
Solution:
Update up stream repo to include more information in iTipMessage

Research direction
Start with OCA\DAV\CalDAV\Schedule\IMipPlugin::schedule() and inspect the iTipMessage produced by Sabre\VObject\ITip\Broker::parseEventForOrganizer(). Reproduce the event-edit flow with an existing attendee and a newly added attendee, then trace which information is missing. Done means the new attendee receives a new invitation rather than an update message, with the required upstream change included.
