Sure.

1) Open a few windows. I have ten open right now: 6 Firefox, 1 terminal, 1 OpenOffice, 1 Eclipse, and 1 Adobe Reader.
2) Right-click on Panel. Select Properties ->General -> Orientation -> Left
3) Right-click on Panel. Select Add to panel -> Window List -> Add.
4) The flickering started immediately.

It turns out not so easy to get rid of the window list. I managed to right-click and select Orientation -> Top, but it still kept flickering like crazy. pkill gnome-panel did the job. Then I was able to remove the window list and change the orientation back to left.

FWIW, uname -a reports Linux thinkpad-x60 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux. This is now the final version of Gutsy.
