Test it by yourself, UI 1 and 2 are not removed before the spell hits, only UI 3 does. And that sucks for sure.
Why should our UI 3 be removed before the spell hits ? They could simply work harder and fix the double dip flare without this kind of amateurish fix.
Or at least do the same with Firestarter procs ?
By "on cast", I meant when the spell is finished casting. 0.5 seconds left on your cast time is pretty much finished casting due to the latency in this game. Guess I should have clarified. ;< I don't spend a lot of time in UI/AF 1/2, so I never noticed that issue, but it makes sense considering you don't get halved casting times.

They definitely could have found a different fix, but I think they just wanted to get rid of double dipping in general, and Yoshida used Flare as an example.
