Yes, but isn't that what was meant by the author of the original statement?

And you provided your own assembly translation of that original 
expression, which was obviously written for

   (flags & flagMask) == flagMask

I.e. it implies the brackets. I added the brackets because this is what 
you (or they) meant but forgot to do.

That is true, but that effectively makes the whole thing nonsensical.
