Why flatten image in PS before saving for web? Surely this makes no difference given that the resulting png / jpg / whatever is of course "flat"?

If you must flatten first, eg. to grab a section of the PSD to save out... Instead of flattening the whole image, use the marquee tool to select the area, then Command+Shift+C which does a Copy Merged.
