Tracing back the uses of `get_flags`: it is used for initializing `java.lang.ClassFrameInfo.flags`. There seem to be no readers for this field in VM. Java side for `j.l.CFI` does not seem to check any method/constructor flags. So I would say this change in behavior is not really visible, and there is no need to try and keep the old (odd) behavior.
