Was my followup patch applied?  My patch controls the insertion of the
mml tag depending on whether or not notmuch-crypto-process-mime is t or
not.  If notmuch-crypto-process-mime is nil the tag won't be added.
Presumably you either did not have that patch applied, or had manually
set it to t?

In any event, if the mml tag is present, it's no longer in notmuch's
hands; emacs's mail processing is handling things and calling gpg-agent
to sign/encrypt the message.

Can you clarify what exactly your situation was?

Presumably people who have not set up any crypto processing should not
have notmuch-crypto-process-mime set t.

jamie.
