It's true Piotr that currently the accent in fluier is on u and
your above rule "Only accented e > je" is for sure the correct one.
But please take a look on the Aromanian form: Ar. fluearã and
please remember also that e>ea took place too only on a stressed
syllable when in the next syllable we have an e or an ã
For the Aromanian form see Rosetti at:

It's true that by coincidence such reductions could generate an je
(I will check if there are or not cases like this in Romanian)
But both /l/ /n/ should be preserved in Aromanian (ex: Rom. frâu >
Ar. frân and lj > l' in Aromanian) that is not the case for fluier.
