It looks to me like the problem is that aptitude figures out which packages are unused before it applies "unmarkauto". You can see the same effect if you select an unused package in the curses UI and set it to manual mode -- the auto flag gets cleared but the package will still be removed. As a workaround, you can 'keep' packages instead of using unmarkauto.
