Make flamers 10" so they're able to be used against the 9.X" charges and people might take them. Or just say leave the range as is but say that "due to the indiscriminate nature of a Flamer's fire jet it may always be used in Overwatch, regardless of range - simply make D6 attacks with this weapon against the charging unit without checking range."

This isn't necessarily a problem specific to flamers, GW really just needs to errata Overwatch to not exclude weapons; i.e- all weapons can fire, but use either the current range to the charging unit, or their maximum range, whichever is nearer.
