It almost looks like a double page turn.
That'd be because it IS in fact a double page turn.
Picture viewer displays a rough preview in the first second, than re-refreshes the page and shows the full-resolution display immediately after that. Watch very carefully and you'll notice the first "iteration" is actually a pixelised preview.

That said, there really seem to be different "depths" of page refresh available and implemented. Some parts of the interface refresh faster and leave more ghosting, while other parts take longer to refresh and leave much less ghosts. Also, i'm willing to bet that there's actually much more ghosting in ebooks with the current firmware, than with the previous (first) one. And it refreshes a bit more quickly too.
