fact that it appears during an active UID command?  This doesn't seem
correct, and it can be argued that the BODY[HEADER] access itself "caused"
the FLAGS FETCH response anyway.

Right, this is indeed a unilaterally sent FETCH, and it wasn't really
caused by the other FETCH - it's just been batched until a command was in
progress. Or maybe it just happens to have been sent at the same time.

In practise, it's likely that the IMAP server explicitly checked flag
changes when it received the FETCH, but that's an implementation detail.

In any case, I don't think this is a bug.
