This is kinda surprising to me. I don't recall seeing any code inside
resolve_btfids that touches the set8 flags field -- only the ids in the
flexible array member. Would be interested to see what the value of the
set8 flags field is before resolve_btfids is run.

I'm a bit busy until Sunday afternoon but I'll try to take a look around
then. Might be a good opportunity to play with poke [0].

Thanks,
Daniel
