I think "buffer changes" refer to actions like switching to other window or other buffer, because I get those beacons when I do that.

Cool.  I didn't understand one thing (and could not see it in the gif):
what do you mean by "buffer changes"?  Any self-insert-command key will
fire this flashy-thing?  That didn't work for me.  (Beacon on point
movement didn'twork here, either.)  I'm on GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1
(i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.8) of 2015-01-02.

Best,
