in-app permalinks to non-pill rooms now take you to matrix.to rather than staying in-app

in element-web on desktop, type a room alias like #twim:matrix.org without tab completing it into a pill. click on the link, and it takes you to matrix.to rather than taking you within the app straight to the room

confirmed regression on staging, due to the work in matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#8394

Likely a similar fix to matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#8917, though this particular case seems non-trivial.

Sorry for breaking this. I think / hope matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#9087 should fix it. It had nothing to do with the span actually.

Also, since this was labeled a release blocker and I was assigned, please note that the regressing change was a spare time contribution so I'm handling this with my limited private life SLA.
