If I (as a user with vote-to-close privileges) click "flag" on a question, I see the ability to flag as "does not belong here, or is a duplicate".

• Is this a bug? I'm quite sure I didn't used to be able to see that.

Anyway, if I use that ("does not belong here, or is a duplicate") option and VtC the question, take a sip of my tea and continue about my daily business, upon submitting the "flag", the counter for the "flag" button gets set, not the "close" button.

• This would seem like a definite bug.
