I see that inconsistency in code as well. I think this is harmless,
because after the page is marked as deleted, it is not used for any
purpose other than to recycle it for re-use. After re-using it, the
caller always suppose to initialize the flags based on it's usage and
I see that is happening in the code unless I am missing something.

Yeah, we can do that for consistency. If we see any problem in doing
so, then I think we can log the flags and set them during replay.
