It took some time until I got round to it: This is a bug.

The flag is "true" because that's the database default.

If you don't check the box in the form, irrelevant of whether you just
added the talk or whether you edit it, then that input parameter isn't
passed to the HTTP request at all - and as a consequence, it doesn't
make its way to the database.

I've prepared a Pull Request to fix this: https://github.com/book/Act/pull/76
