I agree with Christoph here. Having two (or more) flag designs to choose from when rendering a flag image is a matter of glyph design, just like having single-story and double-story glyph variants of the letters 'a' and 'g'. And no vendor or font designer is ever required to include glyphs for every Unicode character or sequence, "recommended" or not.
