software mode does not solve this issue

needs hw verification

no it needs to be tried on a real DS, ideally with a capture card.

doesnt happen on ds iirc, I played the game before

the display of real DS's have a lot of ghosting which can easily hide a bit of flickering like this.

idk if nds-bootstrap counts, but it definitely doesn't seem to happen on my DSi with nds-bootstrap.

later DS models and even 3DS only have a slightly better screen, so depending on the frequency of the flickering it might not be possible to spot it on those models either.

eh, I see games do flickering for fake transparency pretty often and it's noticeable enough

It works with Software mode for me. The shop has lots of difference between Software/OpenGL.

Notice that the dark blue bars between the shop items are missing? I think the flickering is part of those bars flicking in and out of view. Here's the flickering in OpenGL, zoomed in, and slowed down.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation, so is it fixable? Or is just the way it is?

looking at this again, this seems to be really just a typical OpenGL issue.
