Try these from command line:

notmuch search id:messageid
notmuch search 'id:"messageid"'

Note all the single and double quotes in second line.

These should return the same output. If these does it might
be that your emacs interface escapes the quotes for some reason.
i.e. the execution from emacs is analogous to this command line:

notmuch search 'id:\"messageid\"'
