Hi, I had this problem also and just got off the phone with Apple. In the current iOS 11.0.2, you need to edit/mark all/flag to flag all of the emails first (I know, counter-intuitive. And it won't work unless ALL your emails are flagged). Now you will see all your emails flagged. Go back to edit/mark all/UNFLAG. This is the only way the "unflag" option appears. I was able to unflag over 100 emails.

Good luck!
