I don't understand what use case is failing for you. I think I tested
all 4 combinations of DISPLAY set and unset and emacs server running and
not running.  Do you somehow want to run the notmuch-emacs-mua script
from a process not attached to a terminal (from cron?).

As I wrote above, I'm missing what the tradeoff is. The version I sent
works fine (at least for me) in the case where DISPLAY is not set and
--no-window-system is not given (i.e. it's implied if DISPLAY is not
set).
