I don't have another TV I can test it on. In any case, I didn't have any of these issues prior to the firmware upgrade, and the upgrade is the only change to my setup.

I don't know how the Update might affect video behavior. Note: That comes from lack of knowledge, not certainty.
However, from memory, I recall someone mentioning tweaking their TV to work with their IceBox.
The IceBox video is supposed to work best at 1920x1080 @ 50 Hz.
Is that the setting you are using?
Is there anywhere in your TV's settings where you can specify the screen resolution to 1920x1080 @ 50 Hz?

That looks more like a HDMI issue. Do you have a HDMI cable connected directly to your TV or is there something else in between, e.g. an AV Amplifier, a HDMI extender, HDMI splitter, HDMI switch, etc.)?
Sometimes with HDMI, something that interrupts the data flow can trigger the receiving device to go through a housekeeping check which results in a bit of flashing while the HDMI reconfigures itself. Sometimes the result can be a blank screen. The more devices in the chain, the worse the flashing can get.
Usually a directly connected TV doesn't do that, but a bad cable may cause something similar.
