Nope. both of the above should work -- and worked for me just now
(this is how I tested just now:

  emacs -q -L $PWD/emacs -l emacs/notmuch.el -f notmuch --eval '(progn (setq notmuch-address-command "nottoomuch-addresses.sh") (notmuch-address-message-insinuate))'

)

I agree that we don't want to to multi-letter sequences (early). I
personally would be fine w/ 'b'...
