The following (passing) test case is supposed to test exactly that
situation:

test_begin_subtest "Tag changes modify flags of multiple files"
notmuch tag -replied subject:"Duplicated message"
(cd $MAIL_DIR/cur/; ls duplicated*) > actual
test_expect_equal "$(< actual)"  "duplicated-message-another-copy:2,S
duplicated-message-copy:2,S
duplicated-message:2,S"

I wonder what is different about your situation.
