The initial frame serves to display any messages that might be
produced when evaluating your .emacs or init.el file.

With Emacs 27 you can put the 'initial-frame-alist' specification into
an early-init.el file which is loaded before the initial frame is made
by the window system and gets the parameters applied right there.  I
doubt that this will always make correct geometry calculations but the
flashing effect should disappear.
