According to Apollo 12's Lunar Pilot Capt. Alan Bean's interview with Andrew Chaiken in the book A Man on the Moon, the flag that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin placed on the moon in 1969 did, in fact, blow over when the lunar module Eagle left the surface of the moon. I have not read any other confirmations of this statement.

If you look closely at the flag, you can see a rod going through the top of the flag, which holds the flag up. On Apollo 12, the upper rod would not hold and their flag hangs limp from the pole. The other 5 missions all manged to get the rod to stay in place, which makes the flag appear to fly in the lunar atmosphere.
