Mush 7.2.0 will be out in a few days.  It provides a way to do this.
The "update" command will not change "N"ew messages to "U"nread, but
the "quit" command will.  So once you have 7.2.0, you can use
"update;quit" to get out without changing the `N' status.

On a related note, the "preserve" command will work in a manner
completely compatible with UCB Mail as of 7.2.0, so your preserved
messages won't show up with status `U'.
