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.
Which could point again at a problem with the re-tests.
What interval do you use for the normal tests (i.e. the interval you
run the [bbnet] task?) Is it the default 5 minutes, or have you lowered
it ?
I'd be interested to know if disabling the [bbretest] task makes this flapping go away.

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
