I don't think it necessarily means anything but it would definitely make me question what message is being sent.
If I see a Union Jack on a Scottish house I immediately think it's a Unionist message. If I see a Saltire I assume it's a pro-indy statement. When I see a Union Jack in England... pre-2017 I'd have assumed just a Royalist type, post 2017 I unfortunately automatically go to Brexiteer.
Sometimes those assumptions will be wrong but human beings are pattern-seekers. It'll often be correct.

I think anywhere outside of the US flying your country's flag in or on your home is a bit odd while still in that country (unless it's for some occasion) Here in Ireland you'd be much more likely to see county flags hung from houses as more of a GAA thing
