Mark, all my Pentax lenses with perhaps exception of 28-105 IF are extremely resistant to flare. So far I caught flare only once on 43 Lim (you just saw it) and just once on 77 Lim. I say, that it is absolutely excellent. I am not that perfectionist although I definitely am somewhat. To re-iterate - my point, or attempt to make one, was that each lens *can be forced* to flare, while it is *almost* impossible to do with Pentax lenses.
