That happens for me too (on Drapper).

I run mail-notification from command-line and no further debug info was produced.

This is a known problem.

I used to warn the user about having to restart bonobo but I removed it has it was not appropriate for debconf.

But I should have a look at how to inform the user about this in an update-notifier-way.

Fixed in 5.x as it no longer uses Bonobo.

I will upload 5.4.dfsg.1 to Debian most likely today.
