You say that the first works as expected, but they both print "tstst=true". This is because: "You must use the -flag=false form to turn off a boolean flag" (https://golang.org/pkg/flag/).
Without the "=", it's ambiguous whether "-tst false" is enabling the flag, followed by a non-flag argument "false," or disabling the flag.
