Yes, it just effects the defaults. As a client you can do whatever you
want. This was discussed almost a month back in this thread.

Relevant snippet:
Despite its name, the BadExit flag really isn't a big whoop - the

No, the flag effects the default behavior for clients. Clients pick
nodes with the BadExit flag for the middle or guard positions, but
never as an exit.
