Actually, I went to go update the documentation itself, and I found that
it doesn't really need anything new here. The current text is:

	--output=files

	Output the filenames of all messages matching the search terms,
        either one per line (--format=text) or as a JSON array
        (--format=json).

And that's pretty clearly "the filenames of all messages".

The fact that we share a single "message object" when two files contain
the same message-id seems like an implementation detail that's not worth
bringing up here. (It would add more concepts to the documentation but
not actually change the meaning.)

So I've pushed the test and fix as-is now.
