The problem I was having was that the entire taskbar was on top of the window. No flashing of any kind. I found the solution to be going into the taskbar settings and unchecking the option "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" seemed to be a good enough workaround.

I looked at the article you suggested but even tinkering with the registry keys suggested had no effect on what I was experiencing. Just figured I'd pass along a potential workaround to anyone else that sees this in vista in the future.
