I think in this case it was Nheko from Unstable just before the release of 
Trixie.  There were also problems with Schildichat in the same situation.

One would hope that a newer client could just fall back to the protocols used 
by the older server.  But it seemed more complex in that images sent between 
multiple older servers worked fine.

That would be nice, but with the way Matrix seems to be changing in recent 
times users are probably better off just running Trixie for Matrix servers 
that are used in a federated way.  It's still early days for Matrix support 
and we don't even have a command-line Matrix client packaged yet (which is 
something I plan to work on).
