I must say that I'm also very puzzeled about this, though I have only seen it once, in Mr. Sanitra's most recent reel.

Would very much appreciate it if anyone knew how this effect is achieved, though I think it's done through After Effects or similair...

Well, since most text is one solid color, you can make a particles emit from the text and have enough particles to fill it. Then hide the text and use a deflector object to animate through the text. In Pflow set it up so that when the particles collide with the deflector, it then becomes affected by wind and gravity etc.
