Who makes the claim? The point of the precursor system being mentioned is that it shows that a system -like this one- is functional, if not for motility. Handily explaining why "irreducible complexity" -itself- is not an issue worthy of any serious response or consideration, by ignoring this and pretending that it were. When dealing with how any -particular- biological system evolved in the distant past (and especially so if we're talking about something like bacteria) we are more accurately describing ways in which things -could have happened- in most cases. If something -could have happened- in a way that is completely counter to a claim of how something must have happened - the claim is DOA.
You don't need a degree in biology to understand this. We do not need to explain the evolution of the flagellum in unerring specifics to discard the claim of irreducible complexity. Thus, it needn't be any source of irk.
