Yes, looks like we have the flashing problem back. It seems more serious than this particular bug.
We have two options here: 
1) accept this behavior for metal (It would be not a problem if we implement  JDK-8265445) 
2) reimplement all the composing operations via shaders instead of using metal blending rules
