Flipping should probably flip the safe-area-insets (if that's possible).

Doesn't quite fit within the exiting nature of "flips" in Blink, but it should be possible. We can spec that, for a style resolution under a given flip, the substitution value of env() is modified according to the flip.

So for example: for left: env(safe-area-inset-left) and flip-inline, safe-area-inset-left is transformed to safe-area-inset-right during substitution. So post-substitution we get e.g. left: 42px; /* from safe-area-inset-right */. Then, separately, that value is swapped with right using the existing mechanism.
