It was made optional now in svn, but I think that does not really address the issue. It's fine to have an indicator that autokey is on, it just doesn't need to look as if something bad is happening. Red should be reserved for errors. There is no need for a warning/error here, just good feedback about what is happening.
For example improve the blinking so that it's more like the report message blinking in the info header (which is better visible), show the autokey icon in the 3D view header or next to the object name, color the header a bit yellow, or show a report that X keyframes were inserted after transform is done. I don't know which combination works best but the red border is just too much and the current blinking is not very visible by itself. Brecht.
