either way (panning or not) trailing-curtain sync would put whatever blurs were in the picture caused by subject motion or camera shake BEHIND the direction of movement. You are still freezing the subject with that burst of flash at the END of the exposure. Look at the pictures. The headlights are clearly in front of the frozen cars indicating that the exposure was still going on while he panned (or didn't; I think he was panning) but after the flash fired.
