I'm not sure where this has come from, but there is no problem. An
edit by an autoreviewer will only be automatically flagged if the
previous version was already flagged. If it's not, then they have to
actively check a box (next to the minor edit and watch check boxes)
saying they want to flag all the pending edits, and their own (which
people should only check if they have reviewed all the pending edits).
