While in theory this does make them unable to see encrypted messages, this is not designed to be a security mechanism. -- An appservice trying to log in as a user will always create a new device, which means the user would be informed of the - new device on their existing sessions. It should be very obvious if a malicous appservice is creating new devices on your account. - In conclusion this MSC only automates the creation of new devices for users inside an AS namespace, which is something a server admin could already do. Appservices should always be treated with care and so with these facts in mind the MSC should be considered secure.
