No, I cannot see the flaw, but I do find the conclusions very provocative -
and, given the extreme minority conclusion - there is a great incentive for
everyone who disagrees to assert a flaw:

 

1)      This is an apparent first-order violation of local Lorentz
invariance; light propagates in an absolute or preferred reference frame, a
conclusion that physicists will be reluctant to accept. 

2)      The speed of light seems depend on the motion of the observer after
all

3)      This implies that a preferred reference frame exists for the
propagation of light. 

4)      However, the present experiment cannot identify the physical system
to which such a reference frame might be tied.

 

It will be interesting to hear your assessment of the situation - and
whether the author agrees with it  .

Sadly, the analysis seem to be flawed (btw, can you see why?). I'm actually
discussing this with the author. As the analysis is flawed, the conclusion
is not correct. But fortunately, a right analysis (and its related
conclusion) falsify other of the postulates of SR(can you tell which one?)

Best regards,
