I would assume that the official in this case felt the second foul was flagrant because he issued the technical for it. The book says that a multiple foul is a foul by two or more teammates on the same opponent. As for a false multiple foul, it says something to the effect of one or more fouls that follow a previous foul and before the clock starts following that foul PLUS it is a situation that involves at least one aspect of a multiple foul. So...that leaves us with the original question because the two fouls were by the same player. I totally see how it could be a false multiple foul, but it doesn't have the key part of a multiple foul-a foul by two or more teammates...
