Comment (by danielpataki):

 I don't want to edit the Codex on this one because I'm not certain, but
 isn't the Codex on flush_rewrite_riles incorrect?
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/flush_rewrite_rules

 It recommends doing the following:

 {{{
 function myplugin_flush_rewrites() {
         // call your CPT registration function here (it should also be
 hooked into 'init')
         myplugin_custom_post_types_registration();
         flush_rewrite_rules();
 }

 register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'myplugin_flush_rewrites' );

 function myplugin_flush_rewrites_deactivate() {
         flush_rewrite_rules();
 }

 register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, 'myplugin_flush_rewrites_deactivate'
 );
 }}}

 This is fine for activation but simply doesn't work on deactivation for
 reasons discussed in this thread.
