I think your point is valid. Setting the flag is probably unecessarily cautious for the places you mentioned. I think for passwords and keys it should still be set.
If we assume that its rarely being set, I think there is a good reason for propagating it in string operations. Otherwise, it seems difficult to use it in practice, since its often impossible to make sure all intermediate values are being flagged.
