All I see is a brief flash at the end of the animation, not very noticeable, both in IE and FF. I suppose there isn't a way to avoid that as you are removing/appending the elements. Maybe fixing the $targetNode position with position:absolute before the after/before call, that should avoid some of the flickering.
