 I opened a 5-frame nucs, amazed that is was still alive, and to my
surprise, the marked queen came to the top of the frames and promptly flew
off! Has anyone else ever seen such a thing?

Sure!  She should return to the hive in a few minutes. I posted years ago
that the old wives tale about a laying queen can not fly is pure *hogwash*.

I have had laying queens fly from a frame at various times. Rare as it is it
still happens on occasion.
