Anything could be sending your message unenciphered. A client could get compromised. It could be pulling an IMAP/E-Mail shenanigans of sorts when it sends your Drafts up. It really falls on how much Trust you're willing to give on its claims.
I guess if you'd like to find out, you could watch what it sends for a while to make sure WhatsApp isn't doing anything funny.
