It used to be that the particle would be summoned at the exact position of the entity when executed trough an entity. In this version it centers on the middle of the block the entity is standing on.
example command:
/execute @a ~ ~ ~ particle flame ~ ~ ~ 0 0 0 0 1

Perhaps this bug should be reopened but altered. The issue here isn't caused by particle, but rather execute and should not be listed as a duplicate of MC-63419. I created a bug report that specifically explains how execute does not activate at the target, rather the exact center of the block the target is located at. See MC-64188.

Your're right.

Perhaps the info I posted in MC-64188 should be moved to here and this bug report clarified to specify the execute command?

Not necessary, MC-64188 is more complete. This ticket got forward resolved as duplicate.
Confirmed.
