I have a test environment (clone of operational database) consisting of a prime database with two remote physical standby databases managed by Data Guard. If I issue a "flashback database" command to the prime database, will Data Guard automatically propagate the flashback and subsequent resetlogs to each standby database? Or is it necessary to manually flashback each standby? (I could try this myself, but I hesitate for fear of getting the standbys out of sync and then having to rebuild them.)

you might have to manually flash them back - it depends on how much redo was applied. Note: you do have to have enabled flashback database on the standbys

It would be helpful to summarize the conditions along with your "maybe" answer... as well as update the link to current documentation.
