That's good news - that's how it is supposed to work.

You've got to set up both a base backbone curve (usually this will be a line), and then a target curve to use as the new backbone.
Start by selecting the objects that you want to modify. Then run the Flow command, pick the base backbone curve and then pick the target one.
Check out the attached flow_example.3dm file.
Load up the file and then select just the text so that it looks like this:
Then run Transform > Deform > Flow, then click on the line, then click on the wiggly curve above and you should get this result:
You can kind of think of the original line as a "starting spinal column" for the text. The flow command allows you to map objects between a starting spine to a different shaped spine. You can also map between surfaces, with a starting plane mapping to a bendy surface.
