This only appears on Win8, or Win7 too?
I don't see this on my Win8 (VirtualBox VM). It's always white. Maybe this is a GFX driver issue. Weird on your screencast is the visible fog around the tab text and the gradient on tab bar like it's when Aero (or on WIN8 the default theme) is enabled. Was TB closed when you switched to HC theme?

What I'm seeing is Firefox with FX-button in title bar: the black title bar changes delayed from black to white and vice versa by deactivating and activating the window.
Roland, do you still see this?
