!admin rooms moderation ban-room claims to evict all local users before defederating the room, but it doesn't seem to actually do this, at least not reliably.

On transgender.ing (still conduwuit, but can still repro on nexy7574.co.uk) I just ran !admin rooms moderation ban-room !ehXvUhWNASUkSLvAGP:matrix.org to attempt to evict all of my local users out of the old Synapse Admins room. It claimed that it had done so successfully, but I didn't see any leaves, neither locally nor federated.
To double check, I unbanned the room, and then sent my leave manually. This leave went through both client-side and over federation, so I can only assume this is some weird issue where the defed is being done before the leaves (maybe)
