For what it's worth, I suspect the problem is not with notmuch proper
but with the notmuch-mutt script.  Unfortunatately zack (in copy) is
really the only one who knows very much about the script.  If you could
make a small tar ball of an MH directory that causes problems for
notmuch-mutt, zack could probably be tricked into looking at it.
