Well maybe it's really an easter egg made up by bungie.
If I got the Marathon story in the second part right, there were the Pfhor which planned to attack Earth. But their armada got their ass kicked by the S'pht'Kr (the eleventh clan of the S'pht) which Thoth, an ancient Jjaro AI, had called before somehow.
I heared that the Profets in Halo are actually some kind of updated form of the S'pht and Jjaro somehow sounds like Forerunners to me.
I thought about the flag thing.. and it makes a bit more sence if you replace the flags by artifacts. In the Halo novels the Covenants and the Humans are recovering Forerunner artifacts (like that cristall in the 3. book).
Andat the end of Halo 2 the Covenant (well the Prophets, Brutes and Jackals) are attacking Earth. I'm not sure about the Elites and the Grunts, because of the rebellion in Halo 2. Maybe they are teaming up with the humans for some payback action.
Yeah.. a lot of crazy theories but who knows.. ^^
