Part-combine does not work (and will probably never work) together with 
quoting.
The technical reason is that the part-combiner does its stuff at a very early 
stage of lilypond, while the quoting takes place at a very late stage of a 
lilypond run.

That's another problem of automatic voice creation in Lilypond, i.e. in most 
cases you don't need to write \new Voice, but lilypond will do that for you. 
In this case, you will have to write \new Voice in the flute explicitly, 
because otherwise lilypond will fail to create the voice for you.

In particular, if you change your file to (notice the added \new Voice):

staffFlute = \new Staff \new Voice {
        \set Staff.instrumentName = "Flute"
        \fluteNotes
}

then everything works just fine.

Cheers,
Reinhold
