iOS cached Screen Flashes after Splash Image

Sounds like an OS thing. When you double tap the home, is that the screen
that flashes? I think the OS caches the last screen for switching and
throws that up before the splash. Apps that resume will not notice. The
faster the device, the less likely you are to see it. At least that is my
non-educated guess :)
