Could we also assess that redacted_because is correctly set? That sounds like an important edge to test against

I feel like we should make this conditional on redactionEvent.isEncrypted(), and log a warning if we find it is encrypted but we can't decrypt.

Currently, when processing a redacted event, it tries to decrypt the
redacted_because(#1589). However, since this often is not encrypted, the decryption will fail, and this failure will bubble up to the parent event. This patch simply uses the plainredacted_becauseif it is unable to decrypt it.fixes element-hq/element-web#24084 and #1648
