Locking OK bleep but fuel flap is open

My A2 is set up to give a reassuring bleep when I lock it, provided all doors, windows, inspection flap are closed. I thought this list included the fuel flap but today I noticed that the flap was open but the car still bleeped on locking.

Is this correct? If not, is there a flap micro switch and is it easy to change?

Thanks for reading.
 
The fuel flap is not alarmed, so open or not the alarm will set and beep (as you have set it to beep)

Thanks guys. Seems an Audi oversight but I guess there is some form of anti-siphoning in the fuel filler. Mine you, ensuring it is locked would stop idiots pouring stuff into the fuel tank or worse (e.g. lighted match). Reading the local paper makes me wonder if I should not clear the garage and put my A2 in at night, but in 11 years it's been OK.

I do have a speaking fuel cap: "Warning: This vehicle runs on diesel fuel only; only fill with diesel fuel" which it repeats about 6 times. But it doesn't work until the flap is fully open.
