I suppose it might.

Welcome to the world of "bug testing." It seems that you have found a bug. I haven't heard of anyone doing quite what you have done -- do the second half of the new Posi TF, and then do the old Posi TF through Ouro and not get the badge, when you are supposed to be able to get the badge from doing the old Posi TF through Ouro.|

I've done the Ouro Posi before and got the badge at the end, so is this a bug perhaps, or does the fact that I've done one part of the new version prevent me from getting the badge by doing the old one? |
I'd report it and ask for in-game help. You might get the Positron's Ally badge from the GM who responds.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Thanks for the replies. I did /bug it last night after I finished, so maybe I will petition it too, although I'm not particularly annoyed or bothered by not getting the badge, I was more curious as to why it didn't award it, and was wondering if this was known or intentional.
Thinking about it a little more though, I wonder if there is a problem with badges for flashbacks in general, as I had set a time limit of 4 hours (done in just over 2) and a maximum of 5 defeats (I think I had 3), and there were no badges given for those either.
If it helps, I had completed the Flashback version of Positron and got the Positron's Ally badge, but had not done either part of the new TF.
As for the Flashback time limit / defeats issue, you have to do Full arcs, not the short 'badge awarding' missions for it to count.
I'm pretty sure the Wiki had a decent explanation, and Highbeam's Flashback guide is a great resource too.

I cant believe that the incredible slog that the old Posi TF was would count as a quick badge awarding mission

I probably misinterpreted the following statement, thinking that Streetcleaner had done other Flashback missions with the challenge settings:

Thanks again for the replies. With regards to the flashback badges, I was specifically referring to the time limit and defeats allowed parameters I had set for the Positron flashback last night. I've done the TF through ouro previously and received the Positron's Ally badge, and I'm fairly sure that I also got a badge for maximum allowed defeats on that attempt, and a quick check of the character in question's most recent badge list seems to bear this out.
