Yes.

What's more surprising is that there is a test case in notmuch test
suite which test whether after modifing tag of a mail it is moved from
new/ to cur/. Yes, it should be moved on any tag modification if I
understand correctly. But it seems it does not for my maildirs...

Might be.

So for some reason in my maildirs mails are not moved from new/ to cur/
on tag manipulation, but they are on client side by muchsync. I will
have to investigate why this happens to me.
