Wow I'm not alone!  Happens with the same hardware.  Dell 5520 with a
TB16 dock.  After login it now goes through up to 6 cycles of blank to
normal screens before it stabilizes after 30-60 seconds.  It's connected
to a Dell 4k monitor via displayport.  The TB16 side is using a normal
DP connector and the monitor side is using a mDP connector.  I mention
this because previously I had the cable connected the other way (mDP
connector on TB16) and it would flicker a little less (up to 4 times
max).

I wonder if because of the change in behavior when swapping the cable
ends if this is an issue of the dock not supplying enough power
initially?  Just a thought - I have no evidence to support this.

It may also be worth mentioning that I'm driving the monitor at 4k/60Hz.
