*Affects all Game Modes and Environments*
I haven't tested it in earlier versions. I'm new to Minecraft and only know that this happens in 1.5 and 1.5.1
So I spawned about...30 (yes I went a little wacko) Withers and they went on their rampage. After a while I got tired of it and set the difficulty to "Peaceful" rid my world of them.
Now it seems that their particles still exist though. But they're not actively there. Instead...I get what seems to be a ghost of the particles. They flash their existence in regular intervals. They just appear in a static place for what seems to be nothing more than 10 milliseconds or so, and then disappear again, only to flash again after about 3 seconds or so.
They have no effect, make no sounds, do nothing. Just sit there and flash. But I don't like it. Even building around it does nothing to the particle. It's still there.
Any idea what's going on?
I was very lucky to get ONE screenshot of it. It's one out of about 50 I took. I'd have to take a video of it to show you appropriately. But there it is. It's just there for a split second, then disappears, then reappears in flashes over and over again.
Please see the comments for information I've added.

I would also like to comment that their particles are also see-able in the background of the game. They're very far away so they're just shadows, but they flicker on and off too. I think maybe you guys should take a look at how the Wither particles work overall. As the Wither is rarely spawned I'm going to guess bugs about it are more overlooked than everything else.
HA, I found them in MCEdit. They all appear as red transparent blocks in MCEdit. Some of the red blocks indicate active object I've created but the ones floating in midair indicate the Wither particles.
Apparently red means "Entities". So the problem is that the Wither entity isn't going away even after the Withers are gone and long after the fight.
Not sure what I can do about it. Trying to get them out one-by-one in MCEdit but damn it's a pain!

Information added to main post.
Please attach the world to this ticket and force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report here.
I've uploaded the error report.
I'm having some trouble right now so I'm going to upload the world later.
Currently I'm just taking the the entire save folder (Alex's World) from "C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves" and sending it to a zipped folder and uploading it to DepositFiles. Is there a better way of doing this? It's fairly big as-is for uploading, at least for my internet connection from China (25.3MB; it's probably nothing to you guys).
Going to be going to bed soon. I will upload the world after I get back.
Added the world. It's simply a zipped folder of the save game data. I put you in an area with a lot of them. You should be able to see what I'm talking about.
See the main post for the download link.
Oh, and I'm totally new to Minecraft, so sorry if it looks crappy and give me any advice you might have.
This reminds me of the flickering ghast fireballs in MC-4465. Maybe they are related?
Well they're both attacking particles used by mobs (right? I don't know much about Nether mobs yet) so it would point out to something being wrong in something they both share in common.
But in the case of it being "real" or not, I think the Wither particles I'm seeing are what you would consider "phantoms".
No activity here in quite a while. Thought I'd give it a bump.

Please stop bumping.
That issue is filed in this ticket so there is no need to bump.
Resolving to one ticket: MC-4465.
