Actually, being clumsy can be a pretty large flaw, if toyed with smartly. Just think of a Jar-Jar-esque clumsiness.
Mary Sue isn't terrible in itself, it's just a noticeable sympthom of bad writing, because a Mary Sue almost inevitably invites god-modding canon characters to gravitate around her.
My Mary Sue test is "if you are so awesome, what were you doing while the canon characters were saving the world in the canon story?".
