Thank you - this is exactly my problem. I'm glad to know that it's not just me!

It's strange that the AF site would show 2 out of 3 numbers on a single booking as having been added, but then handles the third differently. But my guess is that, even though the AF website says your number hasn't been added, that it actually has, and that it will grant you whatever status benefits you may have despite not showing your number.
If the Flying Blue number is successfully added at any point prior to checkin - up to and including during OLCI - then the boarding pass will be generated with the number, and correct status.
Admittedly we all have zero status but I just want to get the miles, in case we ever become regular Flying Blue users (right now we are barely maintaining gold with Star Alliance / United).
But I also figured it would be good to have these FB numbers with our flight.
Thanks!
