Suppose all "blink-matching..." variables at their standard settings.
When I now insert a closing paren in the current buffer and (a) the
matching paren is before `window-start' and (b) the `buffer-substring'
to be displayed by `blink-matching-open' contains at least one bold
character, the following happens: Emacs resizes the echo area to show
the string (apparently to accomodate the bold character) and recenters
the current buffer. The combined effects are distracting.
A workaround is to replace `buffer-string' in `blink-matching-open' by
`buffer-substring-no-properties'. Binding `max-mini-window-height'
temporarily to 1 is better - Emacs doesn't recenter any more but still
resizes the echo area. Personally, I'd prefer a solution that would not
resize the echo area at all in this particular case but probably I'm
asking too much.
An aside: When I activate `show-paren-mode' the latter setqs the
variable `blink-matching-paren-on-screen'. Customizing that variable
now tells me "CHANGED outside Customize; operating on it here may be
unreliable".

It does, but I would apply some further changes:
(1) Relocate the comment "Don't log messages about paren matching.".
(2) Replace "(/= (char-after (1- oldpos)) matching-paren)" by
"(/= (char-before oldpos) matching-paren)".
(3) Replace
(if (save-excursion
(goto-char blinkpos)
(pos-visible-in-window-p))
by
(if (pos-visible-in-window-p blinkpos)
(4) Replace "(progn (beginning-of-line) (point))" by "(line-beginning-position)"
and "(progn (end-of-line) (point))" by "(line-end-position)".
Moreover, I'd do away with `mismatch' and `matching-paren', not move
around unnecessarily when `blink-matching-paren-on-screen' is nil or a
previous nonblank line can be found, and regroup some of the conditions
a bit - tiny changes only, but I'm afraid this won't convince you ...
