Got to be a bug there somewhere :-D This is a known limitation in the date: prefix queries. You have to specify it as a range, for example date:today..today (from the beginning of today until the end of today). If the underlying Xapian search engine is not given a range expression (with the "..") it searches for the words "date today" without punctuation, matching whatever it matches, and notmuch does not even get an error for it.
