If it is blinking it is active. If VDC is turned off the slip light will only blink and activate when there is a large differential wheel spin. It doesn't cut power but it does pulse the brake on the corner with the highest wheel spin. Most people don't notice it because the slow down is slight, i.e. if your wheel is really spinning that bad it really isn't propelling you forwards any.

It happens to me on track with cold race tires coming out of medium speed corners (70-80 mph). It doesn't really bother my situation but I could see it being a problem in a competitive style drift scenario.
