Notmuch removing messages from the index, when calling `new` two times in a row

Hi,
I have hit a weird behaviour with notmuch.
I recently saw a drop of the number of messages in my index, and after
doing a backup of the current state of the index, I am able to reproduce
this behaviour fairly consistently. ie: notmuch is purgin at least 50%
of its index of messages that are still in the maildir.
I do the following:
1. remove my notmuch database completely.
2. launching `notmuch new`:
Found 42059 total files (that's not much mail).
Processed 42059 total files in 3m 24s (205 files/sec.).
Added 41331 new messages to the database.
3. launching `notmuch new` right after, without having done anything else
on my Maildir folder:
Cleaned up 5 of 156 directories (1m 9s remaining).
No new mail. Removed 22211 messages. Detected 378 file renames.
Then I can loop back to step 1 and reproduce the behaviour every single time.
If I keep a window with Notmuch Emacs in it, I can see some e-mail
disapearing, and search not returning result anymore after the second
notmuch new.
Is it a know bug? A feature that I do not understand? Anyway, this make
notmuch almost unusable right now, since I can't have acces to my full
e-mail history, and I endup with conversations with holes in them.
Regards,
