I am having the same issue. One workaround I have found is that if I change the resolution to 800x600, hit apply and then revert to original settings, the flicker goes away. When booting it starts as soon as the splash screen starts. If i915.modeset=0 is set in grub it eliminates it but disables the ability to change screen brightness.
