I'm mostly concerned with the flattening part. If you're using a spot color, you shouldn't have it doing ANY transparency interaction. The flattening flattening will convert whatever is interacting into another CMYK color and you'll lose the spot color. IF you desire tints of a spot color, make it a tint, NEVER use transparency to lighten it up. Tints and opacity/transparency are two completely different animals.

If I'm way off base/misunderstanding the issue, please let me know.
