And I fear this'd be a major pain... ;-)
(Though I must admit that I actually like your solution
more than mine!)

Yep, a major advantage.

No, it's way simpler. I have a black background and I
write the pattern into the PF.

I use 124 bytes of RAM to buffer the PF. For the
animation I just EOR #$FF it every 16 frames :-)

Maybe combining both ideas in another way. If I'd double
the thickness of my frames, yet'd still move it one PF
pixel every time, it would have a different color every
8 Pixels. Even if it where only two colors alternating,
the direction it moves would be clear then. Hm...
