Why would you continue to hold down C-SPC while hitting <left>?
If you hold down C-SPC, it's eventually going to start auto-repeating
(which would yield flashing messages like you see), though I imagine
<left> _should_ cause X to "cancel" the auto-repeat state of C-SPC
(it does for me); if not, I guess that could be an X bug.
[Repeating C-SPC seems to now toggle active mark state, which I guess is
new behavior (or at least I don't recall it seeing it before), but seems
reasonable enough.]
