bug#12363: 24.2.50; pulse.el highlighting causes flickering

[Dmitry Gutov <dgutov@yandex.ru>]

1. Open some buffer(s) (the more text, the better) in one or several
windows.

2. (require 'pulse)

3. (pulse-momentary-highlight-one-line (point))

4. Observe, for the duration of highlighting pulse, flickering cursor
and text at random places.

I think it's a rather old problem, I remember seeing it with ECB or just
Semantic at least a year ago.
