Sounds like a measurement problem, I doubt the gauge can respond to actual presure fluctuations fast enough to cause the needle to flutter. It could be the gauge itself is bad or the wiring conected to it isn't making a good connection.

I agree with the above. Check your oil level and add as needed. If the level looks good, possibly look into a faulty sending unit.

Is it flutterring at idle? After I installed my cam, and my idle is lopey, it flutters a bit at idle, but it is totally RPM related....
