I can't imagine anyone would notice. For example, Walt Disney World's Main Street USA has 45-star flags on top of each building [1]. I've heard two reasons for this; that was the flag used in the early 1900's (the period where Main Street USA is set) and because it's not an American Flag they do not need to be illuminated or taken down at night. That last part contradicts what was said above. While this fact comes up a lot, I've never heard of anyone spontaneously noticing or object to how they're treated. It may be a subtle political statement used by some, but I'm sure someone had done it with the 48-star flag. That's more noticeable because the stars were laid out in a grid instead of a checkerboard.
