My just delivered Forma also has the bluish/purplish greyish strip. It was manufactured in Taiwan, preordered from the Australian Kobo store, shipped from Hong Kong.
No flickering that I can detect.
I expect that if all the millions of formas were lined up along the equator, every one of them would show it's own unique genetically predetermined family trait of light strip. Some darker, some lighter - but the hardware genes will always be dominant to the recessive software. Which explains why factory resets for hardware lighting issues are useless. At least they have been in my several years worth of kobo defective screen lighting ereader adventures.
I will test the reader tonight in the dark before deciding to enter the kobo lottery. Again.
