It could lead to unfortunate results that all the data for the sources could be deleted without knowing that it was done, so it appears to be a bug.

No it is deliberate - if you flag two calibration scans then the target 
data in between is likely to require flagging also.  You may control 
this flagging in TVFLG, SPFLG, EDITA, EDITR, etc (you do not identify 
the task) with the parameter that differentiates one source and all 
source usually displayed in the status line and able to be toggled from 
the menu.

I agree that it is one of tose places where users can shoot themselves 
in the foot, but there are many such places.
