I disagree about the bet on the flop being foolishness, if its an error at all its a minor one. If we are raised then UTG is faced with cold calling the raise and may decide to fold given that his check has already shown weakness. If he folds then we may just have increased our chances of taking this pot if we hit on the turn, for 1 small bet in a pot this size that seems a good investment to me.
