The flickering was too subtle for me to notice before looking at the spoiler guide that says "look for a flickering side of the pillar."
I'm not against these Guide-Dang-It moments in this type of game; It encourages you to explore everything and there's some nostalgia to remembering those maps I got stuck on.
Heh, when you mention Myst-tier, I think you're thinking of the same thing that reminds me of in the last secret map (For Your Eyes Only).
