I've added a custom boolean, `org-contacts-enable-completion', that you
can set to nil to disable the `message-mode' integration.

Thanks for reporting this.

Could you try the attached patch and set the variable
`org-contacts-complete-exclusive' to nil and see if it still happens.

With this patch org-contacts should fail silently to complete and let
other functions do the completion, so it should complete with both
org-contacts and notmuch.
