I don't know the type, but from experience on other similar designs I'd guess that it probably doesn't. What is most likely happening is that the selection of flaps is either reducing the pressure at the static port through direct flow affects, or increasing the pressure at the pitot by causing the aircraft to fly more nose-down. The result is that the INDICATED speed goes up for a given ACTUAL speed.

Take a look in the POH and see if there are different airspeed correction graphs for different flap settings.
