I'm pretty sure it's developer fail. On my restore to iPad 2, Flipboard was the only app that lost my settings.
Apps have 2 directories to write files to (i.e. save user settings, cache temp files)- 1 is intended for state information like scores, settings, generated content, etc. and 1 is intended as temporary storage for things like file caching, etc. The former is backed up, the latter is not. My guess is Flipboard is storing its feeds in the wrong directory- the one intended as temporary cache that is not backed up. Some apps do the opposite- store temp files in the other directory, which can make your backups huge and slow (and filled with useless temp files)- e.g. iEnvision used to do this. Apple's developer resources are pretty clear on explaining the differences between the 2, but of course not everyone RTFM.
