I added tag:me to all messages from me.
Then I added this to my index page:
tag:notmuch and tag:unread and tag:me
So my attention could be drawn to threads I'd participated in,
which had new messages. (This list has enough traffic that I won't
always keep up).
It didn't work though. I assume because no single message has all
those tags. (The ones with tag:me lack tag:unread and maybe
tag:notmuch.)
If this is not a bug, and you want it to only find messages that
match, and not threads that match, then I make this feature
request:
I want a way to do the above: to search for threads that have the
tags I'm looking for (but not necessarily all in the same message
within the thread.)
The vim ui is exclusively thread-based, and the notmuch manpage
says it's thread-based... I want thread-based searching! :)
Thanks, - Jason
P.S. I submitted (my first) 6 patches to this list on Monday, and
have not gotten a reply or seen them merged. Is there something
more I should do, or should I just be patient?

That is indeed expected behaviour.
Filters can help you out though. Bind this to a key:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(lambda()
(notmuch-search "tag:notmuch AND tag:unread")
(notmuch-search-filter "tag:me"))
#+END_SRC

The Notmuch project is in the unique position of being the product of
Carl's (legimitate) dislike of email (see his talk @ LCA2011 [1]), so
it's safe to say patches may take some time to pass the gatekeeper.
Don't worry, your patience will be rewarded.
