+At least on the Mac SE's I've seen, that illusion seems to be caused by the
+screen beating; the beating is fairly rapid and subtle . . .

I agree with this and similar comments (about the "chewing" effect).
Is this "real" or "illusion"?  I don't know; but I'd be willing to bet
that there is some sort of interaction with some small vibration due
to the hard disk or the fan causing the beat.  I strongly suggest
Apple look to see if more damping can eliminate the wiggle, which can
be from mildly moderately annoying, depending on things like window
size, contrast, ambient lighting, character size, etc.
