Hi Absolute,
I really don't think it is a crap shoot as I've spoken to a few people who have purchased these recently and out of about 10 WF-139s from DX all have functioned perfectly.
Just checking mine now, no sign of any flashing, however, I think it's actually more important to make it clear that it does function (charge lithium ion batteries) perfectly.
Also, there is evidence that there has been more than 1 revision of the circuitboard, so there is no point in assuming all WF-139s will actually work identically, older ones could have different specifications.
Having emailed them, I'm waiting for a reply from Ultrafire about this.
In the mean time, there's no evidence to suggest you shouldn't buy a WF-139 from DX and plenty of evidence to suggest that it is a sound buy from them.
