If they have HDMI 1.3 they will also support multichannel PCM transport.
No, not in a generic way. So far all announced solutions only work on protected audio and video paths, i.e. bit-perfect transport is only enabled for certified players like PowerDVD and WinDVD which pass the audio stream directly to a DRMed a/v driver. So this will *not* work for FLAC tracks.

So in your example FLAC has no disadvantage compared to TrueHD.
It does because FLAC is not supported by any HD disc standard, and that's the only source that will be transported over HDMI 1.3 by the two major HD disc software player manufacturers.
