It seems on first config some settings are listed by "config list" with a semicolon suffix even if they are a single item. If they are subsequently set to another/the same single value they will then appear in config list WITHOUT the semicolon suffix. See output below. This is a very minor inconsistency but has affected one downstream script: https://github.com/mturquette/ghar-email/issues/6.

$ notmuch config list
...
search.exclude_tags=spam;                       <-- Semi-colon
...
$ notmuch config get search.exclude_tags
spam
$ notmuch config set search.exclude_tags spam
$ notmuch config get search.exclude_tags
spam
$ notmuch config list
...
search.exclude_tags=spam                        <-- No semi-colon
