Hi Richard;

As for as I know it _should_ work (modulo the curly quotes being invalid
syntax). I don't have any real hypothesis for what is going wrong, but a
few ideas for gather data.

1) As a start, maybe try evaluating

        (notmuch-config-get "search.exclude_tags")

in emacs and make sure it matches the corresponding

   notmuch config get search.exclude_tags

2) If possible, run notmuch with a minimal configuration (i.e. just loading
notmuch, no personal configuration or other packages). There is a script
./devel/try-emacs-mua in the source if you have a self-built notmuch.
