theme_get_settings overriding global settings improperly

I made some content types and went to the global theme settings to turn off the 'submitted by' info on each type. This changed my theme_settings variable appropriately. However, in my theme_newsflash_settings the 'toggle_node_info' was still set as previously. As a result my 'submitted by' messages persisted until I submitted the newsflash settings page, so that newsflash settings would align with the global changes.

This of course took me some time to figure out. It's a problem because 'display post information' is a global setting not a newsflash setting so a person would not be expected to update their newsflash settings upon changing it. I believe the problem is at the top of newsflash's template.php. It seems to create a theme_newsflash_settings by calling theme_get_settings, which gives it the full set of settings including one's it has no business holding on to.
