I've not ever noticed a situation like that with a layout change, but then I don't usually apply fades to text. The only time I bother with embedding a font is for design purposes (a non system font is specified etc..) or if I'm going to be applying rotation to the text; for example the flexlib HAccordion uses vertical text in the header bar.
If the 'flicker' is really that noticeable, you can always resort to an old Flash trick using a 'mask'. Place a blank or neutral background color Canvas element 'on top' of the text, then do a Tween on it's alpha (1 to 0 for fade in 0 to 1 for fade out). This allows you to 'fade' more than just text (e.g. an detail info call-out that includes an image with text etc...). The benefit of this technique is 1 - no flicker, and 2 - reduces compiled swf size by leaving out the font.
