Hey, Olly.  Thanks so much for backporting this patch and uploading a
patched package to Debian experimental (which is now available):

servo:~ 0$ apt-cache policy libxapian-dev
libxapian-dev:
  Installed: 1.0.17+svn13879-1
  Candidate: 1.0.17+svn13879-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.17+svn13879-1 0
          1 http://ftp.us.debian.org experimental/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.0.17-1 0
        500 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu testing/main Packages
        200 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
servo:~ 0$ 

I just installed this new version from a Debian experimental repo,
rebuilt notmuch against the new installation, and everything seems to be
working great.  I'll report back any issues to the BTS.  Thanks again.

jamie.
