In the airline world we don't worry about flaps in the turn or not, just as we don't worry about "turning into the dead engine" with an engine out on one side. Never heard of any carrier teaching not to add flaps in a turn, and that certainly did not come up as a factor when I was on the Commercial Aviation Safety (CAST) Team Loss of Control study group, or on the Joint Implementation Measurement Data Analysis Team (JIMDAT) sub working group, also connected with CAST. If adding flaps in a turn was a player in any accidents or incidents or events, I guarantee I would have heard of it during the 2 years I spent on these committees.
