In [1], Jakub Wilk observes that the current behaviour is confusing since it looks like there are two mailboxes in From, while in fact there is only one. It seems to me that notmuch should at least quote the display-name part of a mailbox if it has "funny" characters in it, and perhaps always quote it. Either way will require changing the indexing code, since the structure is lost when writing the headers to the database.
