[wp-hackers] Prevent Writing to .htaccess

[Eric Mann]

I agree, time for a patch.
 
My recommendation would be to remove the direct function call that flushes the
rules and instead use something like do_action('flush_rules');  Then re-add the
function call with add_action().  This way, we can remove the function call when
needed (i.e. in your case).
