Here is my workaround. If this approach seems sensible I can prepare a
patch to `org-notmuch-follow-link` in ol-notmuch.el.
(use-package org-notmuch
:init
;; the default value for `org-notmuch-open-function' is
;; `org-notmuch-follow-link', but that function is broken: it calls
;; `notmuch-show' with a search query rather than a thread ID. This
;; causes `notmuch-show-thread-id' to be populated with a value
;; which is not a thread ID, which breaks various other things
;;
;; so use a custom function instead
(defun spw--org-notmuch-follow-link (search)
(let ((thread-id
(substring
(shell-command-to-string
(combine-and-quote-strings (list "notmuch" "search"
"--output=threads" "--limit=1"
"--format=text"
"--format-version=4" search)))
0 -1)))
(notmuch-show thread-id nil nil search search)))
(setq org-notmuch-open-function 'spw--org-notmuch-follow-link))
