When flattening hits containing conflicting types, continue to
recursively flatten the object if possible, rather than simply ending
with a complex object. This fixes a problem when a conflicting type
effectively "hides" nested fields. For example, if "a" is conflicted
(because sometimes it's an object and sometimes it's a native value),
without this change "a.x" will be hidden from the results, even though
it's only an object-level conflict. The "a.x" field itself should
appear in the flatten hit as a separate field.
Rebased version of #3457 after #2723 (sorry, accidentally deleted my original project).
