I can confirm this. I've also seen it with the add-on bar hidden. To reproduce your description, I activated the add-on bar and the window frame effect was still there. But since I have hidden the add-on bar again, the effect is gone. Even after a Firefox restart (and the still-hidden add-on bar, this is new in 4.0b12) there was no more effect to see.

This frame effect is irritating a lot more than the appearing and disappearing of the "status bar" when hovering a link, at least when the background (desktop or other windows behind) is relatively dark in that area.
