I think that some of the shifting pixels could have occured from vapors caused by the landing.
I don't think that wet sand or clay could shift like that without actually seeing wakes or tides (maybe something similar to the Florida Everglades), but who knows at this point.
[One reading from an instrument protruding from the front of the saucer-shaped craft to gauge how deeply it penetrated upon impact suggests that the moon's surface is the consistency of wet sand or clay.
"We think this is a material which may have a thin crust, followed by a region of relatively uniform consistency," John Zarnecki, the scientist in charge of experiments on Titan's surface, said.
Dr Zarnecki says one of his colleagues has suggested another analogy: creme brulee.
"But I don't suppose that will be appearing in any of our papers," he said.]

Those readings were taken by this nifty gadget (penetrometer sensor head):
