Thank you, David!  This fixed it:

  (push '(:name "Personal Unscreened" 
          :query "tag:inbox AND tag:unread AND (NOT 
          query:screened-addresses) :key "u" :search-type tree) 
        notmuch-saved-searches) 

I had actually tried 'tree and "tree" but not just the unquoted: 
tree

Thank you, that's good advice.  I think it's probably time for me 
to spend some time understanding elisp quoting.  I'm always a 
little confused by it.
