If you are not using variable V226, you can ignore V227. There are some inconsistencies in the data, but that is the nature of survey data - respondents do not always give consistent answers - however in the aggregate the responses are generally consistent. Flag variables are provided just to aid the user if they are using the variables of interest, but should not be taken as measures of data quality.
