I figured out what's happening!

There are two fireplaces placed in the default Wilderness house. One is the dark fireplace, and the other is the regular one. They flicker because they're occupying the same space. I discovered this when I removed one to install a new fireplace, and the dark fireplace remained.

Awesome, I'll mark this as solved! The duplicate fireplace issue was fixed in one of the 1.6 patches, but any save created before then still has the duplicate, so that must be what happened here.
