I believe this is new to 1.5.1 and not duplicate.
In 1.5 there was a flickering with item counts under 10 units in the inventory or hand etc, this flickering has now passed to the head texture of sticky pistons.
Occasionally sticky piston head textures are either flickering every few seconds (in inventory, selection row or hand) or changing completely whilst unpowered and unconnected.
This seems just to affect sticky pistons rather than regular ones.
Will try to upload gif etc of the flickering inventory/hand sticky piston later.
Attached some images of static (completely unconnected) pistons changing to a glitched texture when another nearby block is placed.
When nearby blocks are updated the textures normally fix themselves or this glitch jumps to another piston.

I've experienced the same issue since 1.6.4. I use Vanilla MC. On one world, I found that an unrestrained villager breeding cell had produced about 600 mobs in a 2x2 space. Once I killed them all, this problem went away. However, it is still present in other worlds that do not have mob breeders, so I can't account for it.
This ticket is invalid as it relates to a modded or 3rd party client/server.
Any non-standard client/server build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the plugin creator.
