1) Aptitude remembers intended actions, even if you change the package
states and/or configuration settings which prompted this behavior.
When in doubt, run "aptitude keep-all".
2) Aptitude tries to react immediately to changes in package states,
including the "automatically installed" flag. If you want to run
several successive (un)markauto commands to change/fix your system
then you have to use "--schedule-only" to keep aptitude from doing
something unintended halfway through the operation and "keep-all"
afterwards. Another helpful stop-gap measure in such cases is
-o aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern='~T'

Looking at point 2 again, I am not sure why you have to run "aptitude
keep-all" at the end. "keep-all" removes the "A" (automatically
installed) flags, but you have already removed them with "aptitude
unmarkauto --schedule-only '~i'". Any "A" flags that you set with
"markauto" are removed by "keep-all", so your work is undone. What am I
missing?
