I have an ATI Radeon HD 7540D with the latest driver version.

Ticket can be closed. Changing the texture size value fixed this.

what texture size did you set it at? nevermind

No value stops the effect for me.

I have noticed that what terrain a structure with a weapon its built on causes this effect, it sometimes occurs on flat terrain as well.

Even some prebuilt structures are affected.

I find it happens to units randomly, all units are affected, even trucks

changing texture sizes did nothing for me.

I am on a ATI Radeon HD 5770 (a bit old I know)

Green Circled structures are prebuilt into the map (this is SK-Rush)
Red are structures I built.

Alright, I know I am probably talking to the wind here but here it goes.
Today I started a battery of tests to see where this issue is coming from.

So here is the results for this first group of tests and anything I note

Procedure:

Start up a skirmish game on SK-Rush (where the effect is most noticeable)
Build 1 cannon cyborg, 1 Cannon Viper and 1 Cannon Cobra and a single Cannon bunker near the entrance of the base.

Save the game and reload it from ingame
Quit the current game and reload it from the menu.

I would then record the results (which will be below) then I would change the variable (constants and variables will recorded with every experiment block) and restart the game resume the testing procedure.

Experiment Block 1:
Constants:
Map: SK-Rush
Fullscreen mode: Yes
Fullscreen Res: 1440x900
Vsync: On
FSAA: 8x

Variable:
Texture Size is the variable and will be noted in each Test section.

Test 1:
Texture size: 2048

New game: Weapon distortion only occurred on Cannon bunker, built units where unaffected.
Reload of save game from in game: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.
Reload of save game from menu: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.

Test 2:
Texture size: 1024

New Game: Weapon Distortion only occurred on Cannon Bunker, built units were unaffected.
Reload of save game from in game: Weapon distortion occurred on both units and structures.
Reload of save game from menu: Weapon distortion occurred on both units and structures.

Test 3
Texture Size: 512

New game: Weapon distortion only occurred on Cannon bunker, built units where unaffected.
Reload of save game from in game: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.
Reload of save game from menu: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.

Test 4
Texture Size: 256

New game: Weapon distortion only occurred on Cannon bunker, built units where unaffected.
Reload of save game from in game: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.
Reload of save game from menu: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.

Test 5
Texture Size: 128

New game: Weapon distortion only occurred on Cannon bunker, built units where unaffected.
Reload of save game from in game: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.
Reload of save game from menu: Weapon distortion occurred on units and structures.

Block 1 Notes and observations:
Weapon distortion would leave if units were ordered to go attack or do something else on a different plane this occurred on all tests but would return to its distorted state on Test 1 and 2, would stop occurring permanently on tests 3,4 and 5. I also noted that on tests 3 to 5 debug mode would randomly engage itself with out shift + delete input from me, I would have to press it to disable the mode.

As a one of sub experiment I would save when units weapons stoppod distorting on test 3 and 5 and reload from both ingame and from main menu and the effect only returned on Test 3 dunno why.

End of Block 1

gonna wait a week to see if anyone responds to this, plus I am going to be busy for a bit.

I was worried this was a ATI only issue, but it seems to affect nvidia cards too. I hope a solution is found soon.

Devs:

It just occured that this might be a issue with the shaders changes you made to the 3.2.2 release.

I noticed that for units the weapon will stretch down for a certain period of time and then correct itself after a while. This will repeat given enough time. It is kind of rare to see this effect on units though.

Merged fix, thanks. So closing (if saying "fixes ticket 4537", the bot would automatically close).
