I would find this helpful too. If there is a message in the thread which does not have tag:inbox but does have tag:unread, then the whole thread gets the tag:unread flag, which isn't appropriate if all matching don't have tak:unread. Unfortunately I have no idea about implementing - I just wanted to encourage anyone who did that it would be valuable.
