Can either of you replicate the problem with a minimal configuration,
ideally with "emacs -q", followed by "M-x load-library <return>
notmuch"?

If so, does the path in the Fcc header exist? If so, what is it? a file,
a directory, a symlink?

For me, in emacs 24.5 / notmuch 0.21, with emacs -q, if that path is
missing I am prompted to create it. If I refuse, then I later get a
message about not being a maildir.

I guess the tl;dr is that I can't duplicate this problem. Looking at the
traceback Peter provided, it looks like he is using
"send-message-without-bullets" to send the message. Since this isn't a
notmuch function, it's likely bypassing the notmuch fcc setup that
notmuch-mua-send and notmuch-mua-send-and-exit do.
