No, that's definitely a bug. Hard to say if it's a bug in emacs or in
notmuch-emacs. Can you make an mbox out of the thread (e.g. with notmuch
show --format=mbox thread:whatever) and either put it somewhere or mail
it to me (if it's below 2M). I'd do it myself but it lokos like I'd need
to download at least 4 months of archives.

It's always good to specify what version of emacs and what version of
notmuch you encounter problems with.
