This works in the pre-release.
This glitch has been around for quite a while now. I know it happens in 1.3.x, i've seen videos about it.
It will also happen if a chunk unloads with a fireball moving in it.
I've found this on many multiplayer servers and in my singleplayer world when I went exploring in the nether
This bug is present in Release 1.4.2
Please reopen, the bug still exists.
See here: MC-2342
Still affects 1.4.2 according to ticket linked in comment above.
I have also experienced this, presumably upon coming into an unloaded chunk (it was not me who 'spawned' the fireball in the first place.
I think it should be noted that the fireball was not stationary, but moving slow, although a lot slower than it should have been.
