I just realized that in my haste earlier, I mis-typed: when I turned zone 2 on, I had the main zone off. With that sequence, the trigger worked fine.

I assume that the trigger works fine with the main zone, and only exhibits this "flicker on" behavior when turning the second zone on with the main zone off? Do you know what firmware version you have installed?
