This will clear the implicit flag set by set_coalesced, but also any
explicit flag set by set_flush_coalesced.  In some convoluted setup that
will never happen, this can cause breakage.  This can be addresses
either using two flags (or perhaps using the coalesced list for the
implicit flag) or by a comment in clear_coalesced's documentation.
