 > Shouldn't it flush the rules automatically?

 No.  Adding an endpoint and generating the rewrite rules are two separate
 actions.  When you add an endpoint, you're adding an endpoint to the pool
 of potential endpoints, which will be used the next time the rewrite rules
 are generated.  So whereas one regenerates the rewrite rules only
 infrequently (for example, when a plugin is activated), the endpoint needs
 to be added to the pool of potential endpoints on every load of WP, so
 that it will be available to use in the case that something else flushes
 and regenerates the rules.
