Here's yet another brief video which shows a fuller sequence: http://screencast.com/t/OE71Y9r9
For each video, I have hide completed task unchecked but I tried without videoing it and it seemed to make no difference - still get the 2 dialog boxes. If I click Yes to each of the 2 dialog boxes, then try again [both times applying a flag using a shortcut], this time I get only the second dialog box [Task not found. It has been probably deleted].
