(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I don't think it would be appropriate for flymake-mode to set that
itself, since that variable is mostly just meant for other
compilation-line major modes to set buffer-locally.  But I can see how
it might be convenient for users that mainly just use flymake and not
the regular `M-x compile', so I've now mentioned this in the
flymake-mode doc string in Emacs 29.
