You're doing *something* wrong, because I just tried it here and I get no flags set but the a. I assume that's 'archived'? No trouble at all editing the file after it's copied back to the hard drive.
I used the freeware CDBurnerXP, a BD-RE disk, and a plain .txt file. Lest you think it's a bd-re thing, I just grabbed the last DVD I made. A .pdf I copied from it again has only the 'a' bit set.
