Hmm. On a related topic, --valgrind seems broken here:

╭─ zancas:software/upstream/notmuch/test 
╰─ (git)-[master]-% ./T610-message-property.sh --val
./test-lib.sh:[:18: unknown condition: -lt
./test-lib.sh:27: command not found: shopt

test-lib: Testing message property API
cc1: error: unrecognised debug output level ' -O0'

All the tests fail because none of the binaries get built.

Same results if I run from bash instead of my normal zsh.

I ran 
% ./T610-message-property --debug
% cd tmp.T610-message-property
% LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../lib valgrind ./test6 `pwd`/mail

Yes, thanks for reminding me to upgrade ;).  I tested and the failure is
there with 8.6
