I wonder if that's another Japanese flag on the module to the left: the dark circle on the white rectangle?
I think that is the NASA logo....

I count 5 also; 3 Canada, 1 Japan, 1 USA
There is no USA flag on the shoulder of the astronaut in the foreground.
There is another astronaut in the background in the blue area; all you see is the back of the EMU.
The flag is on the center top of the EMU.

Good catch! I do believe it is another astronaut!
So, your total above would appear to be the answer.

The second astronaut (see arrow) is most likely Ron Garan who was scheduled to
accompany Fossum on the RRM move. I found another
picture taken a slightly different time showing the 2nd astronaut has moved. The helmet and 2 temple lights are more visible, while the back of the EMU (and flag) is not.

Isn't that a German flag in that piece of equipment he is pushing?

The only ones I could identify as flags with any certainty whatsoever (and using some tricky image enhancements) are shown here:

- Flags Seen in APOD Image
I count that as 5 Canadian, 1 US, and 1 Japanese.
Contrary to some of the above posters, I could not find any flags on the foreground spacesuit. There are just not enough pixels in the one presumably on the shoulder to identify it.

I only see 4 Canadian flags. It seems that the patch on the space suit's arm is a NASA emblem, not a US flag in this case.
