It doesn't have to be "real" flash memory since we have a
battery-backup... maybe it's just not cleared during the
initialization phase (i.e. when you reset the calc).

Probably. And, with the big ROM in the TI-92 an on-calc text based
assembler wouldn't be at all hard to do - sources and such could be
placed in the "flash" mem!
