One way to do it would be to create a group using a single file backend, process mark the articles like you did and "B c" the articles to the new group. I haven't done this from an nnir result buffer, and haven't done it with a single file backend as a target. But I have done it (ages ago), copying from nntp to nnimap and nnml, and (more recently) from nnimap to nnimap (both with the same server and between two different servers).
