I made an email message from these headers and was able to find it fine
with all of the 'notmuch search' variations you mentioned. If you can
duplicate the problem with a public message that you can send verbatim
that might help. The usual cause of such problems is exclude tags, but
I see from your first message that you don't have any configured.
Another potential source of difficulties is duplicate message-ids. You
could test for the latter with
