I thought that I had this fixed up properly. Sorry for the breakage.

Can you show any explicit settings you have for
`notmuch-search-authors-width' and `notmuch-search-result-format'? Where
do you set them?

The intention was that if you just want a wider display of authors you
set `notmuch-search-authors-width' (which has existed for some time) and
`notmuch-search-result-format' adapts accordingly.

Admittedly, this doesn't cope well if you modify
`notmuch-search-result-format' without also updating
`notmuch-search-authors-width'. Some more thought required...
