Search works by matching messages. So if you have a thread with at
least one message which does not have that tag, that thread will still
show up in a "not tag:killed" search.
The way I maintain killed threads is to search for tag:killed, and then
call notmuch tag -inbox -unread for all those threads. Here's my code
to do this:
# killed threads
for th in $(notmuch search --output=threads -- tag:killed); do
notmuch tag -inbox -unread -new -- $th
done
