We were calculating the nar hash wrong when the file ingestion method was flat. I don't think there's anything we can do in that case but dump the file again, so that's what I do. As an optomization, we again could reuse the original dump for just the recursive and non-sha256 case, but I rather do that after this fix, and after my other PRs which deduplicate this code.
