Unfortunately no.
In the build from trunk however there's another registry key you can set:
HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN\DebugOutputString
set this to 1 (DWORD value). After that, you could catch a much more
detailed debug output with the DbgView tool from SysInternals.

Yes, this crawling is the normal behavior. It's been improved on trunk
however but the repeated crawling still has to occur - otherwise changes
might not get picked up since the change notification events don't
always fire.

But there's no indication why the icons would flip back and forth
according to your description above.
