Setting bit 0 gives a numeric value of 0x1. Yes?

Yes.

The man page says that "This option prevents the driver from being
installed" if a keyboard is not actually attached to the system at bootup
time.

Agreed.

The OP wanted to ensure that his keyboard would work if plugged in later.

According to the manpage, then, he would need to set this flag to 0x0 (or at
least, any value with the LSB set to 0, i.e. any even value)

According to someone else, it's necessary to set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"

Therefore, I perceive a conflict in information. If I'm overlooking
something, can you please point it out to me?

Ah, I see the conflict too. Maybe I'm getting too used to toggling bits when
the thing they control doesn't work right to pay sufficient attention to which
value actually over-rides the default behavior. :-)
