I just picked up a pair of these gates and connected both to the 153 contactor per the Lionel instruction sheet. The gates operate correctly but only one of the crossbuck bulbs is (constantly) lit on each unit while the gates are down. There is no flashing.
Is there anything to look for to remedy the issue?

According to the description flashers on signal, but maybe not arms...

Since it appears you both "just" got them, I wonder if there was a bad batch now hitting the shelves. 
If you can't go the warranty route or you want to attempt a DIY repair, I think it would involve poking around at the component-level requiring at minimum a meter with any repair likely requiring some soldering. If replacement components were needed, cost would be minimal (less than $1) with shipping much more.
This pic is from an OGR thread to repair the MTH crossing gate with flasher. I figure the design ought to be similar so I show this to give you an idea of what you might be facing if your problem indeed requires component-level repair.
Thank you Ted and Stan for the information. After reading the link that Stan provided I have decided to return the gates to the seller. If I didn't have that option I would probably look a little deeper and try to repair them myself.
