I have the impression that the modification of "auto" flags prompts
aptitude to search for unused packages and to schedule them for removal
at the very least, if not to remove them right away. The persistence of
scheduled actions would explain why aptitude tries to remove these
packages when you invoke it a second time, even though you then mark
them as "non-auto".
Another solution might be to use "keep-all" before "unmarkauto".
