test: v8-flags is sensitive to script caching

V8 may cache compiled scripts, and it is not safe to assume that the
V8 flags can be changed after an isolate has been created. In this
particular case, since we are using the same script multiple times,
the test would fail if V8 cached the result of the compilation.
