"Unusual" may indeed "confuse" drivers who then respond by giving lots of room. The visual target thing I believe comes more from a steady single light or a regular pattern blinker... the latter perhaps a mimic of a roadside hazard marker... or even flashing police lights.
As ILTB mentioned, something moving or swaying, or in my case, with irregular blinking patterns (different blinkers) tends to get the "WTF" attention of drivers.
This latter bit is why I also think the PB superflash or other lights that change blink patterns tend to work.
