Set lookups with flags search for an exact match, however: tcp flags { syn } gets transformed into: tcp flags syn which is matching on the syn flag only (non-exact match). This optimization is safe for ct state though, because only one bit is ever set on in the ct state bitmask. Since protocol flags allow for combining flags, skip this optimization to retain exact match semantics. Another possible solution is to turn OP_IMPLICIT into OP_EQ for exact flag match to re-introduce this optimization to deal with this corner case.
