No, I see them only on Fedora rawhide/ELN and Fedora 39, but not on
the current release 38 or earlier. Emacs 29/28 is one difference and
an obvious guess as the cause, but it could be dtach or whatnot.

I get the same failures with notmuch 0.37+your patch on koji now
(rawhide, f39; not f38), sporadically.

I'm confident it's only in the test suite, so I can disable that test
on Fedora for the release build. (Will have to test whether the
failures creep up somewhere else then.)
