Duplicate of MC-42192

I don't think that this is a duplicate of MC-42192 as it appears regular and not just in the tick while summoning.
Also I can confirm it for 14w34d.

~~How do you get it to last longer than several ticks (if not a duplicate of MC-42192)?~~
Confirmed for 1.8, they don't instantly despawn only if summoned with a direction tag.

Fixed for a future version per Searge:

I fixed an issue today that caused fireballs to flicker and non-moving wither skulls to become invisible. Map makers, switch to armor stands

The main flickering part is fixed in 1.8.2-pre1.

However, the fire animation on large fireballs (not the fireball itself) still flicker, and the fire on small fireballs only pops up every now and then.
