A few more questions based on Tomi's experiments / observations.

1) Can you try starting "emacs -q", then evaluate "(require 'notmuch)" in
   *scratch*.  If notmuch starts after this we have confirmed it is
   something specific to your emacs configuration. The usual approach is
   then to bisect your init.el

2) Check in .emacs.d/elpa for any residual notmuch-* directories
