What exactly is happening in PAC-MAN LVL 256? Why does the maze start to deteriorate?

Also, what about the flashing sprites in Adventure and the ghosts in Zelda? Are these caused by similar issues to pac man?

About the flashing sprites: some old systems had a graphics chip that could only draw a fixed amount of sprites (e.g. 4). If you wanted more than 4 sprites you could rapidly switch between them, leading to the flickering effect.

Edit: so no, not the same issue
