if I notice this correctly this phenomenom can be seen within KEENE4 v.1.4 as well as KEEN6E v.1.5 and KEEN5E (v.?).
take a look:
also all of these mods are "infected":
(The Keys of Krodacia, The Eight Accumulators, Valentine Bash, Zoltan's Revenge, Mirror Menace, Intelligent Intellect, Marooned on Mars Galaxy)
But there is one weird exception: In Dr.Colossus Terror From Outerspace you will find two different flag behaviours. that's strange, isn't it?!

In short both the flag and scorebox are sprites spawned in the level much like Keen is. The Flags are given a foreground behavior of 3, the same as the scorebox, to ensure they appear over *all* tiles. However the scorebox is nearly (nearly!) always spawned first, putting it higher up the foreground list, meaning a sprite 'equal' to it will appear in front.
This patch fixes the issue, for Keen 4, but means that some foreground tiles the Flags will not appear in front of:

What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
I noticed this the previous millennium.
My newest mod - Commander Keen: Sunset: viewtopic.php?t=8568 | codename H.Y.E.N.A.
yip, since 1 August 2016 there is a clipping section added: shikadi.net/keenwiki/Patch:Flags#Clipping&foreground
