It seems to be iOS generating this and when it happens the sender is also not shown?

Usually works fine but sometimes this is seen.

It seems my sender lookup sometimes produced nil. Based on testing so far I think this fixes it:

```
	if sender == nil {
		sender = INPerson(
			personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: senderId, type: .unknown),
			nameComponents: nil,
			displayName: senderId,
			image: nil,
			contactIdentifier: nil,
			customIdentifier: nil
		)
	}

```
