Apple employees have been told to say that they’re aware of the problem, and that a software fix is “upcoming.” In the meantime, you’re encouraged to put the computer to sleep, wait ten seconds, then restart the computer to force a display power cycle.
It’s still not clear whether the new MBAs were shipped with a higher bug incidence than normal, but enough people have raised the issue that the company has formulated a formal response. It could well just be a very vocal minority; if my screen were doing this all the time, I’d shout about it, too:

but really? I can’t remember the last time they launched a product without a problem…
