AFAIK they don't exist because OMEMO keys are device and not account specific, so this entire class of attack surface does not exist.

Isn't matrix also based on session keys?
I think the issue is more about how keys are shared between devices, and access to previous messages granted?

I am not an expert on the topic, but yes the key sharing seems to be the ultimate source of these issues.

shared meaning cross-signed
