The "notmuch count '*'" convention is new, but the old "notmuch count"
convention is still supported. I'm not sure how you got into a state
where "M-x notmuch" would not run unless you used the new convention.

All versions of notmuch support the old convention, so that's the one
that should be used by the emacs code.

I hope that helps answer the question,
