Every Amiga 3000 i've seen had this flicker in first line. I suppose that's
a "feature" of the display enhancer. It looks like the display enhancer
is turned off in the first line and that it has to check wether it has
to deinterlace or scan double. Could someone at Commodore confirm this?

You can only stop it if you disable interlace or if you open a productivity
screen.
