I can confirm this bug, I would change the status, but I don't have permission.

The text in the middle of the page flashes on and off because the page author
has specified "text-decoration: blink" in his page style. So we are doing what
the page author wants.

If that really is the definitive answer, then fair do's, but most user
agents do not respect the <blink> tag, and I believe that under the latest
HTML specification it's support is considered optional.

Persoanlly, I would have it turned off by default ...
