No, in this example, the \override only applies to the { Ceci n'est pas 
une B }
so the \normal-text isn't even necessary. Also, your bug report isn't 
entirely
correct. The problem is not that the courier font "type" doesn't contain 
a flat,
the problem is that setting font-name is a low-level font construct so that
LilyPond will ignore all settings of the high-level font selection 
properties
font-family, font-shape and font-series. The \normal-text doesn't reset 
font-name
and I'm not sure if that's even desirable.

What Dan wants is something that works in examples like
\markup{
\override #'(font-name . "Courier")
     { Here comes a \flat followed by some other text. }
}

One solution is
myFlat = \markup {\override #'(font-name . #f) \flat }

\markup{
\override #'(font-name . "Courier")
     { Here comes a \myFlat followed by some other text. }

}
