The FL_FAKECLIENT flag is used by the engine to optimize network traffic. For example, "fake clients" (ie: bots) do not need to be sent various network messages.

So, it was important that we fix this issue, because the workaround of using another bit could cause extraneous network traffic for 3rd party bots.
