I contend that it doesn't matter *why* the server sent the flags
response.  The flag change was caused by the FETCH BODY, but the fact
is that your UID FETCH command did not *ask* for FLAGS, so there's
*no* requirement that the server send the flags as part of that
response.  And once you detach it that way, the server can do what it
wants.

If, as a client, you want to head off this situation, the way to do it
is to ask for FLAGS in addition to BODY.
