The reference I found was in the section about avoiding "psychologically bad" breaks. AFAICS the auxiliary flag is used in line breaking in the hyphenation code, but the breaker algorithm actually doesn't care about it. For page breaking the meaning of the auxiliary flag is undefined, but I've used it to mark elements which are handled in a special way like the elements created by the space resolution. It was simply handy for them to stand out in debug output. There's no logic triggered by the flag and I don't have a problem removing the auxiliary flags if anyone prefers that I should not use them.
