Giobatta, I'm not sure what your problem is.

I opened  Tools | Message Search; entered a search that returned some messages; 
selected a message and clicked the Open button.  Then, from the message's menu, 
I selected Message | Label | Important.  Immediately, the selected message 
turned red in both the search window and in the folder of the main Mail/News 
window.  I closed all the windows and restarted, and the messages was still red.

If you still are having a problem, could you please describe in detail the steps 
you take to get there?

Can anyone reproduce this, or suggest preferences or files he might want to look 
at that could be related?

It's true that it's not possible to actually label a message in the search results window.  See bug 66970 (TB bug 302609) about adding a context menu to that window which could include Label as an option.  Also xref bug 107878.
