Summary
Since a recent update to UEFN and Fortnite, all my foliage elements (especially rocks) exhibit a significant black flicker in the viewport and in-game. This issue is specific to elements placed in Vegetation mode.

Steps to Reproduce
Open UEFN on PC.
Select the Foliage tool.
Add a custom Static Mesh to the foliage palette.
Paint the rocks onto the landscape.
Observe the rocks in the viewport or launch a game session.
Expected Result
The rocks placed with the Foliage tool should render correctly and smoothly, exactly like a single Static Mesh placed manually in the scene.
Observed Result
The foliage instances violently flicker and flash black. Important note: The exact same Static Mesh renders perfectly without any bugs when placed individually; the black flickering ONLY occurs when it is painted as Instanced Foliage.
