I don't have any personal experience with that camera, so this is a wild
guess, but perhaps the continuous mode is limited to only two shots with
the flash enabled? Or perhaps the buffer inside the camera can only
store two shots before forcing a write to the memory card?

I have read in manuals and references that Continuous Mode is used when
there is an 'ongoing scene' . The example was a cycle race and the
'Continuous Mode' allowed shots as the bicycles approached and then closer
and closer. Perhaps the focusing adjusts without the same time delay when it
is in this mode. The manual or a website references this camera might have a
more detailed explanation but I recall reading stuff along these lines in a
reference book.

My Ricoh Caplio R1 also has continuous mode. This records a photo every
second or so for as long as the shutter release is held down
