Your issue sounds similar to the one reported here.

Unbanned bot can't send messages to chat

type /ban botUserName on a chat a bot is kicked off from a channel and can not join anymore ( is OK ) type /unban botUserName on a chat bot can join successfully try send a message using client.say method ( from tmi.js library ) - it was working before, but after ban and unban messages don’t appear on a chat although the same bot can listen and can receive a self-message (which was previously sent). now only giving mod status for a bot makes messages “visible”. It seems it is permanently, once…

So you seem to have something similar going on but doesn’t match the edge case I know of.

So will have to wait on the uservoice perhaps
