Bump.
No info on this?
How about an answer from someone at Roku?
I would be very surprised if the roRegistrySection flush didn't flush the entire registry for a few reasons.
1) The Component reference states that it flushes the contents of the registry, not the registry section. This of course could be bad wording, but...
2) The fact that the writes are transactional and atomic suggests that it basically copies the live registry to a temp space, allows changes to it, and on a flush just changes the pointer to where the active registry is to the new one that was created for writes. It's probably more complex than it's worth to do that separately for each section on the back-end for atomic writes, so they probably do it all at once.
You could look through the example code and possible find more specific usage cases that point to certain behavior, but I suggest you just test it. I find that a test channel specifically for trying out code snippets and testing results is immeasurably useful for finding out how the system actually performs before committing to coding up a feature assuming the box functions a specific way. If you do this (and I highly suggest you do, it's informative in so many ways), please post the results here so we have a definitive answer!
