I like the idea.

I do not see why we have to break the RATP API. I mean currently we
have BB_RATP_TYPE_COMMAND and BB_RATP_TYPE_COMMAND_RETURN which you
convert to .type = BB_RATP_TYPE_COMMAND, .flags = 0 | RESPONSE.

I see that using flags looks somewhat nicer, but besides of that,
what is your selling point to break the API?
