If you haven't tried it without the Kineme PDF Renderer (and the blurs), you haven't isolated the problem. I would try removing the blurs entirely and substituting a PNG image (something with transparency) for the PDF renderer patch, then seeing if you still get the flashes. In fact, I would try removing all 3rd party plugins (especially Kineme's GLTools (no offense, Kineme)) as a temporary measure, too.
