Not that this is your problem, but I had a similar problem when I had two instances of the hobbit server running on two different boxes.  I had copied the original server without modifying all of the configs on the new server.  In effect the new instance was sending it's data to the original server causing the ping checks to go red every 5 minutes (just briefly).  Perhaps that will give you some ideas?

More info: this doesn't look like its exclusive to hobbitping.
I swapped hobbitping out for fping, and I'm still getting a lot of the red->green->red flapping when a host is unreachable.

Sounds like it is the re-test thing that is broken. Do you have the
[bbretest] section enabled in hobbitlaunch.cfg ?

Yep:
[bbretest]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/bbretest-net.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-retest.log
        INTERVAL 1m
