fwiw, cc: is not a valid search prefix, but I don't think that's
your problem, since that would only effect your tagging step.

I tried a couple of tests here, and I could not duplicate your problem
with notmuch 0.20.2. For me, only messages with the tag show up.
You might want to try the following to debug:
- compare "notmuch count tag:xyz" with the number of messages recognized
by e.g. mutt in the mbox.
- if those two are the same, find one of the message you think should
not have the tag, and look at it by message-id.
- if the two are not the same, find a message in the mbox that you think
should not be there, and double check the tags and headers.
Note that
The to: prefix is used to match the names or addresses of any
recipient of an email message, (whether To, Cc, or Bcc).
to quote notmuch-search-terms(7). One possibility is the existence
of Bcc headers in some of your messages.
