Well, not only commit_active_start().  mirror_exit() does exactly the
same.  It does seem on purpose to let the target have exactly the same
flags as the source eventually.

Then again, none of the other flags seem to make any sense to me here.
Therefore, I tend to agree that it is a bug fix, even though I wouldn't
say it was an oversight.
