Oh, I might know what is happening. notmuch-emacs is trying to load
.notmuch-config.el, and you (maybe?) have $HOME in your emacs load-path.
I guess I would pretty strongly recommmend not having $HOME in your
emacs load-path (at least I just end up with random files in my $HOME).
If it's important to you to have $HOME in your load-path, you can use
the XDG location for your config file: put it in
$HOME/.config/notmuch/default/config.
