Argh, after I went to bed I realized I had typed "nephew guy left Saxony and entered Brandenburg survice" instead of "uncle guy left Saxony and entered Brandenburg service." But apparently it's more complicated than that: as you point out, he started in Brandenburg, switched to imperial service, switched to Brunswick service, switched to Saxon service, and then returned to Brandenburg service, which was when he got the final promotions, to governor of Berlin and field marshal, and why I had homed in on that particular stage of his service-switching.
And then, yes, Saxon minister Flemming had switched from Brandenburg service to Saxon.
