See the discussion about GTK requesting geometry information about all ports on startup resulting in similiar issues on the xorg lists.
The flickering isn't the entire screen, it looks more like a couple of bad blits, and it didn't used to happen. So yes I'm sure my display going crazy isn't normal.
