I suspect there is something to this. Part of the flashbulb look is
the longer burn time, which means less dead-on sharpness. A longer
shutter on a strobe shot might yield something similar with an kind of
ambient light level.
I also think film looks different when exposed to a 1/50,000 light
burst, which the longer exposure would mitigate as well (again, with
any kind of ambient light)...
