Boost converter to battery via diodes would be my tip. The magneto is likely giving neg spike's... that's causing the flicker. I bet the flicker changes speed with revs...
Definitely try going as close to battery as possible. Like Chris say's it is a good regulator. A pair of diodes one out from pos and one in to neg could help a lot too.
I've been thinking about this too. Would be great to be able to do. If you can get power tho the boost chip, the rest should work. I'd say the magneto is switching your chip on and off really fast, causing the flicker... Been a long time since I played with magnetos though, and my electrical knowledge was not as good then.
