yeah they seem to pass. but you're right, something seems a bit off:

    ./notmuch count subject:github or body:github and tag:notmuch
    3271

    ./notmuch count github and tag:notmuch
    665

sounds good, I was wondering that as well.

I wonder if it's all worth the effort though, since a workaround could
be:

    notmuch search <query> and not subject:<query>

If it's too annoying to have a body prefix, due to index bloat or
performance issues, would doing something hacky such as translating
'body:<query>' to '<query> and not subject:<query>' make sense?
