Heh, I'm not feeling that bad :-)

But really, is there a list of reserved symbols somewhere? And if this is
reserved for presumably "internal" purposes, couldn't that symbol be
renamed to 'internal--face-id' or something like that?  Or are there too
many references?

As far as I can understand, this is because flymake-error, the flymake error
type, is conflated with flymake-error, the face. So if the face was
flymake-error-face  I think it wouldn't happen.  Have to check though, of
course.
