Unfortunately the default behaviour of the Xapian query parser is a bit
surprising here. It doesn't know how to parse 'to:*@domain.com', so it trys again
as 'to domain com'. This means 'to' stops being a prefix.

In this case the sexp query parser is probably better

    % notmuch count --exclude=false --query=sexp '(to *@tethera.net)'

yields the same answer as

    % notmuch count --exclude=false --query=sexp '(to tethera net)'

For more information see

    % man notmuch-sexp-queries
