Issue found when executing PR #21895

Action Performed:

Precondition: Create new accounts for both scenarios.

Scenario 1:

1. Go to staging.new.expensify.com
2. As User A, go to Settings > Workspace > Members > Invite > Enter User B's address > Select User B > Invite User B
3. As User B, send a message and request money in workspace with User A
4. As User A, check the workspace chat

Scenario 2:

1. Go to staging.new.expensify.com
2. Both User A and B change display name
3. As User A, go to Settings > Workspace > Members > Invite > Enter User B's address > Select User B > Invite User B
4. As User B, check the workspace chat

Expected Result:

Scenario 1: There are two workspace chats - one with user B, one without user B. The workspace without user B should serve some purpose
Scenario 2: User B receives invitation and the invited workspace will show up in LHN

Actual Result:

Scenario 1: The workspace without user B does not receive any message from user B and does not receive anything
Scenario 2: Workspace chat does not show up in User B's LHN

For Scenario 2, occasionally the workspace shows up on the member (User B) end but admin (User A) does not receive any chat from workspace with user B when user B has sent messages and IOU to admin (User A)
