It's not the broadcast flag. This proposed regulation and the broadcast flag regulation were born together; they are siblings. http://judiciary.senate.gov/special/content_protection.pdf The broadcast flag regulation applied to demodulating ATSC signals. This analog hole regulation would apply to digitizing or recording baseband analog video signals. Both of these are seen as "holes" by the entertainment industry because they are lawful means of acquiring Hollywood movies without a legal regime that allows movie studios to determine the functionality of the sink device.
