This is how the current version handles the channel.flow command:

%% This handles the flow control flag that the broker initiates.
%% If defined, it informs the flow control handler to suspend submitting
%% any content bearing methods
handle_method(Flow = #'channel.flow'{active = Active},
              State = #channel_state{writer_pid = Writer, do2 = Do2,
                                     flow_handler_pid = FlowHandler}) ->
    case FlowHandler of
        undefined -> ok;
        _ -> FlowHandler ! Flow
    end,
    Do2(Writer, #'channel.flow_ok'{active = Active}),
    {noreply, State#channel_state{flow_control = not(Active)}};

Hence why I am baffled as to how the command is being processed as a
rpc_bottom_half.

Neither do I at this stage, I will have to ponder this.
