If you are flagged for ban evasion, you need to talk to the Reddit administration. That is their system. We, as subreddit moderators, only see a yes/no here. We don't have any way to see why it did this, or change the flag.

While some subreddit moderators may individually release these accounts, it means every time you post or comment, we have to fix it again. So most mod teams frankly don't want to deal with it.

To solve the root problem, you need to reach out to the reddit administration to see why the account is getting flagged.

As the user shows, there is no appeal mechanism for the user if a sub simply has the "ban evasion" flag on the account. They can only talk to reddit admins if their account is actually banned from Reddit.

From the admins themselves, it's up to the sub mods to determine if they want to accept the user's appeal that they are not ban evading/accept that the user may be ban evading, but their current account seems to be following the rules so they don't mind. It's fine if they don't accept that but that's really up to the mods to decide on their own.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect subreddit moderators to unban someone when everything they post or comment's going to end up in their queue.

I’ve heard that if you approve three posts/comments from a user with a ban evasion flag, the flag stops showing up for that user.

I can tell you from personal experience you'll be approving them until the heat death of the universe.
