It shouldn't match anything, that's the value of finding this bug.
What happened is the term counter was reset for each email address, so
the term list for emails in "to:" looks something like this:
0 c K
1 hello R
2 com goodbye
3 com
So it matched a hello at 1 and a goodbye at 2.
I don't remember where the discussion on this went, but it was on the
list.
Perhaps you should search for it, it should take notmuch to
find... *duck*
