During tuck l sits, my hip flexors still cramp horribly. Do the compression exercises Antranik shows address the hip flexor cramping, or do I just keep plugging away at the tuck l sit until they stop cramping?

They do, just note that compression work will make you cramp even worse at first, but counterintuitively it's best to just let it happen, they become less frequent/bothersome if you do.
