I'm seeing this also with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040831
Firefox/0.9.1+

The div which is flashing has style="border: 1px solid black; overflow: auto;
height: 150px; width: 340px;".
When removing the overflow:auto property, the flashing stops. 
This needs a simplified/minimal testcase.

Attachment: Testcase

The testcase consists of a overflow:auto div which is inside a table
align=left, so this is probably a dupe of one of the bugs with floating divs
appearing for a brief moment in the wrong position on a reflow.

Related/dupe of bug 132337? Removing align left stops the flickering.

Yes, I think so. But I think it would be better if the summary of bug 132337
something like "during reflow" gets added. 
Bug 244271 is also probably a duplicate.
