Ever since the pre-patch, whenever I use speed boost items such as Skull of the Impending Doom, Swift Boots or Nifty Stopwatch in Warsong Gulch, I drop the flag.
However, if I use Figurine - Golden Hare or Gnomish Rocket Boots, I do not drop the flag. If this was Blizzard’s intention to stop people from using speed boost items in Warsong Gulch, shouldn’t the Golden Hare trinket and Gnomish Rocket Boots also make me drop the flag?
It all seems so strange and inconsistent to be a proper intended change. Would like some clarification on whether the above is an intended change or a bug.

Yeah this is an odd interaction, would like some feedback on this if we could? Is this a bug?
UPDATE: Since I’m a druid, I tried the items in my normal (cow) form to see if the issue persists.
I still drop the flag when I use every item listed above except for Golden Hare and Gnomish Rocket Boots.
Had the same issue. Every item drops the flag except Gnomish Rocket Boots, for reasons I cannot understand. I presumed it was just a BC change, but who knows.
Also doesn’t seem to be solely a druid issue. Got my warrior friend to pick up flag and use Nifty Stopwatch and he drops the flag too.
So it works on new TBC item Golden Hare, but not old Classic items? But does work on Classic rocket boots? That’s not consistent haha… How would anyone know which works and what doesn’t, doesn’t boots in tunnel even work xD
August 6th, just found out about this the hard way…half way through mid nifty stopwatch was rdy and I dropped flag on use…is this going to be fixed of time to vendor it?
Perhaps because they’re based around profession that the player has to have in order to use them but all the other items were just quest rewards or boes that anyone could use(thus making them mandatory).
