Sorry I still haven't had a chance to review your patch in detail. A few
things I did wonder about

- There is a patch series in progress to add a "last modified time" to
  all messages [1]. It seems like this should also work for your case
  since renaming counts as modification in this context. It might not be
  quite as easy/efficient for your use case as your proposal, but it
  seems like it should work.

- What about messages added by notmuch-insert? I guess you are maybe not
  using it, but it seems odd to only support changes detected in
  notmuch-new.

- This might be because I haven't worked through the details, but it
  isn't obvious to me how your patch behaves with messages with multiple
  files on disk.
