Why wouldn't we want to use a cleared buffer in all cases?
notmuch-pop-up-error is only ever used when a command terminates, so
there's no danger of us clearing errors that the user hasn't seen yet.

Historical reasons, I suppose. I was maintaining the status quo for
search (which already had *some* error handling), but there was no
error-handling status quo for show. Probably search should be more
vocal when the command fails.
