Suppose that I have made some changes in the working directory and accidentally marked several files (that include some of the modified ones) for removal. How do I unmark the files for removal without losing the changes I have made?

there are two options using hg revert :
hg revert -a
which will go back to the previous revision and put all your changes in new files with .orig appended to the names
hg revert [names of files to unremove] to just revert those files
i'd probably go with the latter
Following your comment to jk, I checked hg forget. It seems to be just a shortcut for hg remove -Af, meaning that this is the real opposite of hg add.
Following that, if you've used hg remove -Af, then you should be able to revert that using hg add (I just tried it and seems to work).
I removed a bunch of unmodified files:
hg remove *
This is what I had to do to get them back:
hg revert --all
Nothing else worked. Not hg add not hg add * nor hg revert *
