First, I did a little Googling and found there is a similar problem with some vehicle turn signals, referred to as "hyperflashing", with some new after-market lights available specifically designed to prevent this from occurring. But, no similar mention or products for trailer side lights.
So, I took a chance on ordering some replacement side-lights, hoping they were of higher quality (since they would be at least 4 years newer then those on my trailer) with advanced bulbs or circuitry - but no such luck, they also flashed. I'm currently in conversation with the distributor/manufacturer about the "reason I am returning" in case they may have some advice or solution.
I did read some suggestions on "how to" fix the hyperflashing turn signals that involved installed a resistor in the turn signal wiring. While trying the replacement light I read the voltage leak as .20 volts. So, I'm wondering if I added a resistor (of what size?) to the yet to be isolated wire either in/before the towing plug or on the trailer side of the wiring cord - that might work.
That's my next path.
