Because t toggles marks, and C is not a mark, it's a flag.
If the doc string which you quoted several times said this:
Toggle marks: marked files become unmarked, and vice versa.
Flagged files (indicated with flags such as ‘C’ and ‘D’, not
with ‘*’) are not affected, and ‘.’ and ‘..’ are never toggled.
would that prevent the confusion?
