The unusual search was just to illustrate the problem. I get the paths
even with tag searches, like so:

$ notmuch search --output=files
'id:20151106102835.GA2711@hostname.domain.com'
/export/home/username/mail//home/username/local/mail/archive/cur/1446805732.2711_9.hostname:2,S
/export/home/username/mail/archive/cur/1446805732.2711_9.hostname:2,S
