I understand now.

This seems somewhat like a policy decision, though. If I indicate that I
want the foreground text for a particular line to be red, should the
formatting of non-matching authors override that?

(My own approach has been to have `notmuch-search-line-faces' always
specify a background colour whereas
`notmuch-search-non-matching-authors' (or any of the columnar faces)
specify a foreground colour and/or slant.)
