Apparently, the game loses the blue flag texture and replaces it with animation textures and other random ones. I haven't seen this happen with flags of other colors or in other worlds. The only thing different about this flag is that it's named "☻"
Environment
Hardcore world, normal terrain generation. Seed: 5017128436319823163
