When I first saw the artifacts, it immediately reminded me of a tute on
halos in the 3.0 docs: declaring a halo in a unit sphere with turbulence of
.5 caused artifacts like this. Declaring the container as 1.5 and the sphere
pattern at 1 prevented the clipping effect. IOW maybe your
turb/particle-placement values are extending outside the boundaries of your
merge object. It would make sense since they mostly occur near the top where
you are likely increasing the amount of chaos.

P.S.
The flickering light looked just fine to me as is. <shrug> And yes, it's
still cool!
