Oooh, this is an *interesting* problem, especially with section
editing. Auto-flagging of own revisions seems to be something you can
turn on or off, at least for the two semi-protected states:

"REVIEWERS: Can edit; a new edit is visible immediately if the
previous version is already confirmed or when the option "confirm this
revision" is selected; otherwise left unconfirmed"

I'm guessing this is an opt-in system, and we'll have to encourage
people only to use it on low-traffic pages. Hmm.
