I guess you could think of what the patch does as a conservative version
of that.  I'm not aware of any case where a "real" mbox with multiple
messages is passed to notmuch-insert. So the modification effectively
discards the From line, although keeping the contents, because who knows
what people rely on.

It seems not, at least for the case of invoking notmuch-insert via a
.forward file, which I would guess is the most common case (nothing
specific to postfix, it's just the obvious way to invoke
notmuch-insert).
