If flatpages are installed according to the docs (that is, using
FlatpageFallbackMiddleware), any view middleware installed will not affect
flatpages (because the flatpage view is not called in the usual fashion
via URLconf).
It's not clear to me that this is a bug (it's perfectly logical once you
realize what's happening), but it certainly can be a cause of confusing
bugs ("why is this middleware I just installed not working on certain
parts of my site?").
Perhaps it's just something to note in the flatpages docs? I'll put
together a patch if someone can confirm that's the best solution here.
