Explicitly setting "database.path" to "/home/jack/mail" in my
".notmuch-config" indeed fixed the problem.
However previously, I simply had not set this variable at all in my
".notmuch-config", and "notmuch config get database.path" returned
"/home/jack/mail" (an absolute path).
So, I'm unsure if this was the underlying issue.

I've attached my .notmuch-config (slightly edited to remove some email addresses).

That's what I thought -- thanks for confirming this.

# Database configuration
#
# The only value supported here is 'path' which should be the top-level
# directory where your mail currently exists and to where mail will be
# delivered in the future. Files should be individual email messages.
# Notmuch will store its database within a sub-directory of the path
# configured here named ".notmuch".

# User configuration
#
# Here is where you can let notmuch know how you would like to be
# addressed. Valid settings are
#
# name Your full name.
# primary_email Your primary email address.
# other_email A list (separated by ';') of other email addresses
# at which you receive email.
#
# Notmuch will use the various email addresses configured here when
# formatting replies. It will avoid including your own addresses in the
# recipient list of replies, and will set the From address based on the
# address to which the original email was addressed.
