My apologies. I misunderstood the syntax.

I've deleted all messages/draft referring to this message ID, then got these
results:
$ export MSG_ID=jwvczk7opm8.fsf-monnier+em...@gnu.org
$ export NM_DB=~/.mail/.notmuch/xapian
$ xapian-delve -d $NM_DB -t "XREPLYTO${MSG_ID}"
term 'xreplytojwvczk7opm8.fsf-monnier+em...@gnu.org' not in database
$ xapian-delve -d $NM_DB -t "XREFERENCE${MSG_ID}"
term 'xreferencejwvczk7opm8.fsf-monnier+em...@gnu.org' not in database
$ quest -btype:T -b id:Q -d ~/.mail/.notmuch/xapian "id:${MSG_ID}"
Parsed Query: Query(0 * (qjwvczk7opm8.fsf-monnier+em...@gnu.org AND Tghost))
Exactly 1 matches
MSet:

So it does seem to be a lingering ghost message, but I am sure that there are
no messages in the database referring to this ID (except messages in this
current thread which have the ID in the message body).
I don't know why this particular ID is associated to messages in another
seemingly unrelated thread as you in the pdf.
Is there a way to remove this ghost message record somehow to test it? Or is
there a better way of figuring this out.
