Some status update: I enabled "Don't wait for video sync" and "Force full screen redraws" from compizconfig. I've not yet experienced the flickering problem. Before the compizconfig modification the problem was severe in gnome image viewer, right after rebooting.

I have never seen problems as severe as in Robert's video: for me, the flickering never occurred between different windows. The flickering occurred mostly in gnome image viewer and gnome terminal: for example, when I exited vim, I could see the vim screen still there, painted over by the command line prompt and the flickering was the same rate as the cursor blink rate. It was worse in image viewer however, making it almost unusable.

Even though the flickering happens inside window borders I would still rate this very severe bug, disabling common out-of-the-box media functionality.
