Yeah, thanks for that. I had been worrying about the same thing, but
your message helped clarify things for me.

I guess log files should be opened in notmuch_database_open, and the
actual logging in this case could happen from notmuch_message_add_tag.

One could attach a log buffer to a message, and flush that atomically
when syncing the message back to the database. In this context, it is a
little more tedious to have more than one log file.
