Would it be easy enough to make a "mark as unread" button after reading a PM, which brings back that flashing PM icon?
Sometimes I'll read a PM, and plan to respond later, but I end up forgetting about it because the thing is gone.

Okay, in the same way you can click on a closed envelope icon to mark a message as read, you can now click on an open envelope icon to mark a message as unread. This will activate the flashing PM notification as you requested, and you can navigate to a different page to see it, but if you reload your inbox it will just reset the flasher again and you will get the solid notification.
Also, there currently isn't a way to mark message you've replied to as unread. The BB doesn't include a state for that, so it would require additional work to implement it. This could be added in the future if there's demand, but it sounds like it's not important for your use case.
Please let me know if you notice any bugs, I had to go back and update some messy old code to get it working.

I always wondered why sometimes the notification would flash, while other times it would not. 
I think its fair that if you've replied to a message, clearly you've read it, and therefore there should be no need/reason to mark it unread.

I noticed that on mobile, if you try to mark the message unread, it opens it, negating the action.

You just trying to brag about all the PMs you receive?
