And you are very sure that the SELECT returns correct record but UPDATE didn't update all of them?
What happens with this:
update mytable set flag = "1";
FROM mytable;
 where f1 in (SELECT f1 from look_up group by f1 having count(*) = 1) AND ;
       f2 in (select f2 from look_up group by f2 having count(*) = 1)
