 With wooden deck ledger's attached to wood framing, the ledger always gets flashed, preventing water from entering behind the ledger and causing rot.

For the first time, I've come across a ledger fastened to a wall that is concrete above and below, with no additional siding planned.  What is the protocol for flashing in such a situation?  

I assume that it is still desirable to prevent water from getting behind in the letter and freezing and expanding, but there is nothing to lap over the flashing above it.

You should just buy a concrete or tile cutting blade and cut a groove in the concrete with your Skil saw for that head flashing.

And as Sir James alluded to, the groove is the *reglet*.
