This sounds suspiciously like "timeout" kicking in and killing a test
that is taking too long. You can set NOTMUCH_TEST_TIMEOUT in the
environment to some smaller/larger number to test this.

The first subtest in T357 is also sending an encrypted message, so it
looks like some bad interaction between gpg and emacs. Maybe you can try
sending an encrypted message from emacs interactively in your chroot
environment.

0) you will first need to run 

   gpg --no-tty --import ./test/openpgp4-secret-key.asc 

this will create a keyring etc... in the chroot

1) You can use the script

./devel/try-emacs-mua -q


2) Copy the following into *scratch* and run with C-j after the last
closing paren (this is just copied from the test suite internals)

(let ((message-send-mail-function (lambda () t))
      (mail-host-address "example.com"))
  (notmuch-mua-mail)
  (message-goto-to)
  (insert "test_suite@notmuchmail.org\nDate: 01 Jan 2000 12:00:00 -0000")
  (message-goto-subject)
  (insert "My Subject")
  (message-goto-body)
  (insert "a body")
  (mml-secure-message-encrypt)
  (let ((mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender t)
	(mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender t))
    (notmuch-mua-send-and-exit)))

You will probably need to answer "c" to create the sent-mail folder at
the prompt.

Note that those files are summaries created by test_done, so it's not
that surprising that they are not there, since test_done is not reached
in those files.
