Agreed.

True, but fact is, I don't get a interrupt when the system switches from
ERROR-WARNING to ERROR-PASSIVE state. However, when I set berr-reporting
on, I get an interrupt (probably because of a change of bit 10...15),
but the state change is recognized:

It looks like, the FLTCONF state change itself doesn't lead to a
interrupt when the state changes to ERROR-PASSIVE. IMHO, this is also
not explicitly stated in the Vybrid RM (46.3.8).

What is the solution here? Force enabling ERR interrupt? The
FLEXCAN_HAS_BROKEN_ERR_STATE flag would be appropriate, however, this
was meant to work around the missing WRN_INT, which seems not to be the
case here...
