I can't see how the dash light circuit could be backfeeding anything as it's basically a dead end circuit and supposedly doesn't run through any harness connections so I think I can ignore it.

Reversed pins will do it... for sure. The reason we "walk back" from the end of the circuit (the end of the circuit is at the pulled fuse), and seemingly take unnecessary steps, is that the underlying portions of the circuit are not absolutely distinct. For instance, the panel lights are on the same line as one of the front parking lights, but not the other.
But you know that you're getting a flashing 12v at fuse #6 with the fuse out. That should never happen. That's the fault, and it's traceable. I think it's going to end up being a faulty rear fixture, or a misaligned pin alignment in a plug.
