Does it return to normal when the RPM's go back down, or once it is out you have to stop the bike and restart it? You already ruled out the Module, unless that one is bad as well. Try swapping the bulbs, left to right, and see if it happens on the left side then. After that, break out the DVOM, and chase wires doing a wiggle test. Maybe there is an open somewhere that only happens when the bike vibrates under rev.

Wow! Thats exactly whats started happening to my 95 Sportster!
Well,
almost... Sorry, Aussiemick, if you thought this might be the answer...
My Sportster indicators are staying on at higher revs. But the trouble seems to have started on the RH side, just like yours (coincidence?) with engine off it flickers instead of blinking. At anything above tickover (riding) both sides will light up but not flash.
The hazard light option works ok! 😖
So, I am also awaiting the answer!
Cheers
