I have "Auto-flag commercials" set on /every single/ recording rule in 
my system.  It only says, "Do the right thing for commercial flagging."  
It does not (and should not) change depending on whether the channel on 
which you selected the recording is commercial free.  You may, after 
all, select a showing that appears on a commercial-free channel when you 
create an "any channel" rule, and--if MythWeb were to disable 
auto-commercial-flagging and your system were to record from a channel 
with commercials--you may not get the commercial flagging you want.

In the event that a recording is created from a commercial free channel, 
no commercial flagging is performed even when "Auto-flag commercials" is 
checked.

BTW, I posted a patch for MythWeb's channel editor (and no other parts  
of MythWeb) on http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5195 .
