Can't federate with matrix.org, can federate with everyone else

Background information

• Dendrite version or git SHA: fd11e65a9d113839177f9f7a32af328a0292b195
• SQLite3 or Postgres?: Postgres
• Running in Docker?: No
• go version: go version go1.19.8 linux/amd64
• Client used (if applicable):

Description

• What is the problem: Will federate with every instance except matrix.org, which insists the requests sent use an invalid signature:

  122023-12-04 01:05:48,310 - synapse.federation.transport.server._base - 312 - WARNING - PUT-830024a3de2d9830-SJC - authenticate_request failed: 401: Invalid signature for server [iddqd.chat](http://iddqd.chat/) with key ed25519:4nSjL2: Unable to verify signature for [iddqd.chat](http://iddqd.chat/): <class 'nacl.exceptions.BadSignatureError'> Signature was forged or corrupt

  But other instances don't have this problem.

• Who is affected: matrix.org

• How is this bug manifesting: Messages from iddqd.chat do not federate to matrix.org, but do federate elsewhere

• When did this first appear: ~1wk ago

Steps to reproduce

1. Send message on iddqd.chat
2. Verify that it arrives elsewhere like bolha.chat and on matrix.org
3. Notice that it arrives at the former but not the latter
