When i read this it really made me stop and think.  I finally decided that Flamel (the spelling isn't a mistake i looked it up and that's how it is spelled)  must had made the stone but was still working in alchemy, I belive that there is more to alchemy than the actualy making of the stone but deals with how the magic goes to work through the stone and other stuch things that deal with the stone.  Albus could have been helping Famel to understand the stone further, maybe Famel creating the stone was part fluke.
I hope that makes some sense
