Asked a 787 instructor about this divert. He wasn't familiar with the details but said if it was a flap malfunction in cruise, it could have increased the fuel burn enough for the destination to either no longer be legal, or out of reach completely.

You are correct. The FMC fuel predictions become invalid and range is adversely affected. I would post the flap sys qrh picture but I'm too lazy.
