I can't say anything about "flashes screen".
But:

ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit,
nvidia (331.38) and bumblebee (3.2.1-90)

before using optirun,
"optirun --status":
Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1). X inactive. Discrete video card is off.

After using optirun,
"optirun --status":
Bumblebee status: Error (3.2.1): [XORG] (EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

Problem can be solved by 'sudo service bumblebeed restart'.

Title:
  Bumblebee "optirun" or "primusrun" flashes screen for a moment before
  launching apps

Status in “bumblebee” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have installed nvidia-319-updates (319.49) and bumblebee-nvidia, I
  configured some files too, reboot and try "optirun" and "primusrun"
  with some apps, and it's OK, it seems that the system uses well nvidia
  graphic card. But there is a little problem: It seems that the screen
  flashes for a moment, before launching the application. Is this
  normal?

  With the command "optirun --status", I got this:

  Bumblebee status: Error (3.2.1): [XORG] (EE) Server terminated
  successfully (0). Closing log file.

  This problem has been discussed on the following pages:

  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1311699
  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/567297/linux/linux-3-10-driver-crash/

  Are these things related?
