What makes you say that? Do you have some support for this? You could be right, but I'd like to see some evidence before believing something that illogical.
Isn't flight mode intended to disable all radios on the device in order to avoid any potential interference with other electronic doodads? That would be my assumption. Along the same lines, I think it is possible that Flight Mode could disable the GPS chip even though it is a passive signal. Perhaps there is a bug that allows it to keep running after turning on flight mode, but not after a soft reset while still in flight mode.
Unless a lot more people start coming forward with similar experiences/evidence, I'm going to have to test on my own later this year in order to make up my mind.
