This link states that the flag was destroyed because it had deteriorated badly. Because it was wool, it was a target for moths and other vermin. I spoke to the flag curator of the Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution during a visit in August 2013 and she confirmed that the flag had been burned in its wooden case.
Wasn't that somehow ill-eagle?
