The leakage current may arise from the x10 device's ability to detect when a lamp is turned off, then on in order to itself turn on at the same time. You might be able to remove the sense leakage resistor from the x10 circuit and avoid the LED light blinking. In this case, the x10 device will no longer be able to sense the lamp being turned off then on and you will have to operate the x10 device itself instead.
