That setting should be called "Display untrusted keys" deals with
ownertrust.  "Display invalid keys" deals with key+userid validity.

the "Key Validity" column should contain "valid", "marginal", or "-".
I consider it a bug that enigmail uses the term "trusted" in the
"Validity" column.

any ownertrust set on a key that has no valid User IDs is ignored by
GnuPG in its "classic" trust model.

You may need to "Reload Key Cache" in the key manager window's "File"
menu.
