Should the clone VIN make me apprehensive about buying the car? I definitely don't want anything like that to cause me issues later on, maybe getting higher insurance rates for wrecks I never had in states I never lived in or something like that.

Walk maybe RUN from this car. There is a reason they 'flag' the car. Do you really want to own something that might be a HUGE problem for you? Scrubbing VIN's and odometer discrepancies are shady and many times (if not all the time) illegal. Buyer beware!
