I don't recall what the previously suggested solutions were. 

But this works perfectly fine for me:

(press in sequence:)
T      to tag matching the following pattern
~O     the pattern (all "O" messages should now be tagged)
;      apply the following to all tagged messages (*)
N      set "N" flag on tagged messages 

(*) you should be able to omit this step if you've got "set
auto_tag=yes" in your .muttrc AFAIK.

I don't know why your 'set mark_old=no' doesn't work. Do you possibly
have a folder-hook somewhere that overrides it?
