Yup, AFAICS this does half of what I want, eg.:
macro pager <Tab> "\
<exit><mark-message>last<enter><next-unread><display-message>\
" "jump to next unread and remember last"
macro pager ,l "\
<exit><enter-command>push \\'last<enter><display-message>\
" "jump back to last"
Even though it's a bit unflexible as I can't change
$mark_macro_prefix without changing the macro too, because I
can't do something like "push \$mark_macro_prefix\ l".
But how to go back /again/ to the message that I came from:

Hm, I'm too dense, I tried, but everything leaves me on the
message that was marked -- marking the message doesn't perform
the actual search, and once I've done the hotkey search I'm back
on the marked message without having marked the message where I
came from.

Perhaps you should, and instruct me ;)
