That's most interesting indeed.
Still works for me, even with wget in the mix:

podman run -it --rm --log-driver none debian:sid
root@6cd68cfa22da:/# apt update && apt install notmuch
[installation snipped]
root@6cd68cfa22da:/# notmuch
[enter, enter, enter...]
root@6cd68cfa22da:/# apt install wget
[sorry about that]
root@6cd68cfa22da:/# wget https://smrk.net/tmp/msg.segfault.min
root@6cd68cfa22da:/# mkdir ~/mail
root@6cd68cfa22da:/# mv msg.segfault.min ~/mail/msg
