I am not suprised it is not aligning.  You are mixing composition methods.

-flatten does not use -gravity or -geometry  on -page or -repage virtual canvas for layer image offsets from the top left corner.

-composite on the other hand ignores -page or -repage offsets but does
understand -gravity and -geometry positioning.

See IM Examples

This was Just updated to attempt to make things clearer.
Give it until tuesday for the official site to get the changes.
