This used to be true but notmuch has added support for Xapian's DB_RETRY_LOCK feature a couple of years ago so if you have non-ancient notmuch (0.23+) and Xapian (1.3.2+) then the second process will wait for the lock instead of erroring out. The feature can be disabled at compile time if you don't want it for some reason.
