Perhaps there are simpler solution, but your report started a different process in my mind: It should be easier to introduce new flags in Gnus. It should be possible to add user-defined flags. We add flags from time to time to Gnus, and the process of doing this is technically simple, if only you recall to update all places in the code. It can probably be generalized and made available as a user command. FWIW, I believe several back ends handle non-standard flags just fine, like at least nnml, nnfolder, and nnimap.
