I expanded your sample into a full program, and it seems to work ok for
me. Not sure what the difference might be.

#include <notmuch.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv){

  notmuch_database_t *nm_db;
  notmuch_query_t *query;
  notmuch_threads_t *threads;
  notmuch_thread_t *thread;

  if (notmuch_database_open ("/home/bremner/Maildir/",
			     NOTMUCH_DATABASE_MODE_READ_ONLY, &nm_db))
    return 1;


  
  query = notmuch_query_create (nm_db, "tag:muted");
  notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude (query, "muted");
  notmuch_query_set_omit_excluded (query, NOTMUCH_EXCLUDE_TRUE);

  for (threads = notmuch_query_search_threads (query);
       notmuch_threads_valid (threads);
       notmuch_threads_move_to_next (threads))
    {
      thread = notmuch_threads_get (threads);
      printf("%d\n", notmuch_thread_get_total_messages(thread));
      notmuch_thread_destroy (thread);
    }

}
