Well, to be honest, I was kind of divided here, because passing
MANAGED if STATELESS is not passed is technically not a bug and
returning NULL in that case seemed a bit awkward to me.

That said, the function doesn't reject flags with unused bits set
anyway and arguably it should, so I'll add that check and that'll
cover MANAGED too.
