There seems to be a disconnect between these two sections.  My reading
of 10.2.2.1 is that there's a registry of the notation names, of which

Yes.  An existing, but currently empty registry.

However there doesn't appear to be a registry of the "flags", of
which there IS a single entry (0x80) defined in 5.2.3.16.

Yes.

So did we miss a needed registry or Notation Data Flags?  Or are the
labels in 10.2.2.1 just not the same as the labels in 5.2.3.16 and the
label disconnect is causing confusion?

My take is that, yes, we're missing a registry for the flags.  I
believe it should be an IETF CONSENSUS registry.
