I'm still trying to find out both when Omega Psi Phi started using Q to describe itself and when Alpha Phi Omega at the HBCUs started using Q as part of its self description.

Whether Omegas find it flattering is irrelevant -- most Ques I know really don't care one way or the other.
It's usually people who aren't Ques who make it a big deal.

You also weren't initiated into a chapter where "A Phi Que" as a term was part of the chapter's heritage.
It is my belief that on those campuses where it is made into a huge problem, it isn't worth it to demand to be called A Phi Que. This would hold especially true on those campuses where the fraternity has been dormant for some time.
But why would the FAMU chapter stop referring to themselves as A Phi Que? It shouldn't.
