man pfFlatten:

NOTES
     When instanced geometry is flattened, the copy created by pfFlatten
     shares pfGeoSet attribute arrays with the original when possible. This
     means that the newly flattened pfGeoSet may share some arrays (e.g. color
     array), but not other arrays (e.g. the vertex array) with the original.
