Yes, although it happened quickly enough I'm not sure the window was
deleted before the frame.

It sounds plausible. On Debian I was a bit lazy and relied on the Debian
site startup file, which I attach.  Note that the setting of 'new-window
seems broken to me without emacsclient as well. In this case it buries
the notmuch-hello buffer that the compose window was launched from.

Yes, that one seems fine; perhaps because deleting the frame is the
desired outcome in this case.
