Thank you for your reply.

Here is how to get what I wanted when I ran into this bug:

  ;; don't collapse cited text
  ;; We ought to be able to just remove
  ;; `notmuch-wash-excerpt-citations' from
  ;; `notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook', but that function is also
  ;; responsible for colouring cited text (this is an upstream bug:
  ;; that function does the colouring for performance reasons but the
  ;; right answer is to use fontlocking, not overlays, for the colouring)
  (setq notmuch-wash-citation-lines-prefix 10000
        notmuch-wash-citation-lines-suffix 10000)
