if a flag is moved to a corner, turning on the bomb, and then the flag is captured or moves away before the bomb is dropped, does the bomb remain turned on, or does it turn back off until a flag is moved to a corner square again? i had assumed the former until i noticed that zillions considers the latter to be correct. looking at the rules page, it is definitely not clear. the zrf was written by the inventor, and therefore is probably correct, but i thought it would still be worth checking on.

I had noticed the same, and commented on it.  See the response from the
inventor here:

Answer from the author: yes, the answer to this question can be found on
the INVASION page.
If for a reason or another, the player is not able to stand the position
(the corner), he loses the ability of dropping the bomb.
