It is the former, yes. See, for example the following test in the test
suite:

	"Removing 'S' flag from existing filename adds 'unread' tag"

Also, here is the latest documentation of
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags. If this could be made more clear,
please let me know:

/* Add/remove tags according to maildir flags in the message filename(s)
 *
 * This function examines the filenames of 'message' for maildir
 * flags, and adds or removes tags on 'message' as follows when these
 * flags are present:
 *
 *	Flag	Action if present
 *	----	-----------------
 *	'D'	Adds the "draft" tag to the message
 *	'F'	Adds the "flagged" tag to the message
 *	'P'	Adds the "passed" tag to the message
 *	'R'	Adds the "replied" tag to the message
 *	'S'	Removes the "unread" tag from the message
 *
 * For each flag that is not present, the opposite action (add/remove)
 * is performed for the corresponding tags.
 *
 * Flags are identified as trailing components of the filename after a
 * sequence of ":2,".
 *
 * If there are multiple filenames associated with this message, the
 * flag is considered present if it appears in one or more
 * filenames. (That is, the flags from the multiple filenames are
 * combined with the logical OR operator.)
 *
 * A client can ensure that notmuch database tags remain synchronized
 * with maildir flags by calling this function after each call to
 * notmuch_database_add_message. See also
 * notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags for synchronizing tag changes
 * back to maildir flags.
