Aren't you setting the WB for your light source?
Once you turn on the flash the light source is now the flash.
If I set a custom WB for a florescent light source and then turn on the 
flash the color will be all screwed up.
But what an effect.

You can use the flash with the hotshoe flash cable FL-CB05.

It works great in S-Macro mode. The hot shoe is still active in S-Macro 
mode.

The auto and TTL modes compensate really well.
Add a diffuser and/or a reflector and it works great.
