It looks like they are using a couple tricks for saving the FlowExecution. The FlowPhase listener [2] adds a non-visual component to the view root to keep state. It also adds the flow execution key to the view root.It looks like the flow key is used to restore the FlowExecution. I suspect the problem you are seeing has to do with the state not being resorted for the current flow on the postback. I would try setting some break points in the FlowPhaseListener.
