OMG! Seems I should buy the cable by myself on AliExpress while my P8 is in building limbo.
The DP + usb 5m pair by Ugreen (premium brand) costs around $30.

So I have to provide the properties of this proprietary cable by quality components of my DIY solution.
I have no patience to wait more and more and more.
Have you seen the cable in question? 3 cables in (usb, dp, power) and only one out with a custom plug. I doubt that you can diy an appropriate replacement without either butchering the original cable or having access to some sort of production facilities.

Received my 5k+ today - noticed all the described issues above immediately including black screen flickering. Also noticed image rendering happening on the right hand side lens only (far right side) coupled with a blue light strip down the right hand side where the rendering was occurring- strange.
@anon74848233 my SUPEN-2710 will need a new cable. Incredible.

I noticed flickering dots in the first day of using HMD and created a SUPEN ticket which was answered after a couple of minutes, it wasn’t a problem. But I have a question. My new cable won’t live forever obviously, as my Vive cables died every 8-12 months. At least HTC sells cables, so I can buy a new cable when I want (and I did it 2 times).
Do you plan to sell cables in the future, as spare parts? I would like to be able to buy it at any time.

They need a system that show alle current status - the mix of mail, issue system and so on is not very clear. - One System showing who is on it and what is currently happening - would spare them a lot of time also.
