Will,
	How else could they show that the TARDIS was in transit?  I think
that it is necessary.  Also, the TARDIS has to travel through SOMETHING
to get from one place to another.  On the theoretical side, perhaps the
spinning TARDIS is the 4-dimensional image of itself as it travels through 
pan-dimensional space.
