Apparently, that's what we've been doing since 2013:

            (let* ((unread
                    (gnus-compress-sequence
                     (gnus-set-difference
                      (gnus-set-difference
                       existing
                       (gnus-sorted-union
                        (cdr (assoc '%Seen flags))
                        (cdr (assoc '%Deleted flags))))
                      (cdr (assoc '%Flagged flags)))))
                   (read (gnus-range-difference
                          (cons start-article high) unread)))

So I think re-handling this (as the patch suggested) should be
unnecessary, so I'm closing this bug report.

If the problem still exists, please respond to this email and we'll
reopen the bug report.
