Exactly, and the site-wide robots indexing policy *is not* and *should not be*
set via META tags. The META tags were introduced as a new feature of
FlaggedRevs to prevent unflagged (!) revisions of pages from being indexed. So,
if anything, only unflagged revisions should have the META tag with
NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW, but for logged-in users *all* pages (flagged und unflagged)
have this META tag. This is a bug. Bugs should be fixed.
