As is usual in these cases: try to determine the exact version where you
see this for the first time. Then I can see what changed and possibly
broke something.

I finally tracked down the change that caused this: #2704, in ivtv-streams.c.  When I back out that change, the flashes go away but the ghosting that change fixed is back.  Hopefully, both problems can be fixed, but that's beyond my expertise.  If we're stuck with one or the other, I vote for the ghosting.  It's much less noticable than the flashes.

No, I take that back.  The flashes are back again today.  Odd that none appeared when I watched video after changing the driver.  Maybe they don't happen right after loading the driver?  I'll study it some more.
