This exact scenerio is on the Official FAQ (faithfully mirrored in RONIN and Netrep.net)

"¢ [Re: Skill Drain] If you Flip Summon "Spear Cretin" while "Skill Drain" is active, "Spear Cretin"'s effect is negated when it is sent to the Graveyard because it is a Flip Effect and "Skill Drain" negates Flip Effects.
