When shooting a Fire Charge out of a dispenser on a server, it either turns invisible or moves abruptly, jumping forward or rubberbanding back. They still reach their destination at the right time, so this is just a visual glitch. The client may not be accurately predicting the movement of the fire charge. This bug has been around since they were first introduced.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.4 / Launcher version 1.3.8 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Would this also be related to not being able to properly summon SmallFireballs through spawners or command blocks, as well as them disappearing after re-logging?
Yes. This is strictly server based. This has never been an issue single player.
Perhaps the bug title should include that info.
Confirmed.
