Especially considering that a waved stripey will be preceeded by a stationary stripey

Would you care to show me where in the Blue Book it says that? It doesn't.
If you actually read the Blue Book it gives the order of flags for the use of yellows but there is no requirement for that procedure with the change of surface flag. Any flaggie(s) I teach, mentor.... will be told to agitate, shake or as an extreme measure move it up or down or in circles but never wave it.
There is no standard design for the change of surface flag, only a minimum size. So, do you have 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 panels, if an odd number are there more yellow than red. When held horizontally are the panels vertical or horizontal? If you start waving the flag the colours merge and do they then tend towards yellow or red!!! who knows it becomes a lottery.
To misquote a well known comment from GI Jane when the MSA gave the instruction that the CoS flag could be waved I believe someone "had a brain f*rt".
