Having this issue as well. Blinking happens on mini displayport not on mini HDMI (running on Intel NUC with dual monitor setup). Some applications trigger the blinking more often than others. Blinking occurs every few minutes when working in a terminal, but it can happen multiple times in a row. Switching to (or away from) the terminal triggers the bug more often than just working in the terminal.
