I suspect that, "shut up" is the official explanation :-)
I prefer the idea that the array uses the Flood's telepathic ability to destroy sentient life and the the Flood's sentient stage, communal mind's biomass. Perhaps the Forerunners perfected the mechanism so that the Flood biomass that's used to generate the pulse isn't, itself, destroyed.
It's all that neural physics stuff that Bear mentions in his books.
Or more mundanely, in the specific instance of the tactical detonation of the ring at the Ark...
maybe not all the Flood was on the ring. The detonation, "did a number on the Ark" but didn't completely sterilize the surface.
The most cynical answer is, they need the Flood to have survived in order to have this DLC, therefore the Flood survived. It's like plot armour.
