An expected delivery to their village pumps was not made. I tried to reproduce at a sandbox, and confirmed.
To reproduce:
- {{target | user = Quiddity (WMF)/sandbox | site = su.wikiquote.org }}
- {{target | user = Quiddity (WMF)/sandbox | site = ml.wikiquote.org }}
Message delivery is failing due to a system user conflict.
Hmm.

#14 {main}The trace is similar to T124414: MassMessage Fatal error: CAS update failed on user_touched but that has been closed. This is still open, so hijacking it as both traces have MassMessage::getMessengerUser in them.
At least on aawiki, MediaWiki message delivery is not a system user: it has a real user token. (But also an empty email and password, which suggests it was a system user at some point... not sure how that came to be.)
That triggers the "steal" branch of User::newSystemUser, which tries to change the token and save the user, which results in a CAS error. Either the job is conflicting with itself, like in T124414 (but that seems unlikely: why would it run multiple instances for aawiki? and more importantly, at least one of the user updates would succeed, and we'd see a valid token) or maybe the logic in User::newSystemUser conflicts with something done in one of the revokeAccessForUser handlers (but that also doesn't seem to be the case: the only things that would run are providerChangeAuthenticationData in LocalPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider and TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider and those don't change user_touched).
