608.2b: ...Illegal targets, if any, won’t be affected by parts of a resolving spell’s effect for which they’re illegal. Other parts of the effect for which those targets are not illegal may still affect them...
Both the counters and the flashback are parts of the effect, and not the trigger nor condition. I'd think this means you do get the latter half of the effect.
I'm not 100% on all of these, but I would like to find room. Some are marginal upgrades so I'm considering waiting until a few sets to see if they get pushed out right away. The powercreep really has me looking at fleshing out a nice old border cube.
