It seems that when no flags are supported, set and disk_set pass null
for the filter, which makes the prompt accept any string as valid input.
 That fails to look up a flag bit, then tries to throw an exception
naming the flag, but the flag name is null, so it bugs.  Thanks for
reporting this, it is now fixed.
