I'm taking an interest in this as I'll soon be ripping a batch to FLAC for the first time. One thing I have been alerted to is that FLAC tags are the same as Vorbis comments. FLAC writes to these and id3 tags. So I'm surmising that, when you reset the ratings to unknown, the changes are made to the id3 tag by MM. On restart, though, MM recognises the flac file and (correctly) displays the vorbis comment - in this case the rating that you'd thought had been changed.
If I'm right on that, then either the MM devs will have to address the issue in some way, or you'll need to use another tagger to sort it out. If you do that, make sure to use the File Monitor for updating changes to the library. (Though I'm not sure that's working properly at the moment, either. Anyway.....)
