Setting Particles to Minimal is the only workaround I've found. This is a very distracting bug.
A simple test case: Create a new super-flat creative world. Place a 6x6 grid of torches on the ground. Look around for the dancing torch flames. They all seem to go in the same direction and stay evenly spaced. And the position of the errant flames changes based on time not character movement or view. Hope this helps.
Using latest minecraft 1.4.4 on 64-bit linux w/ the nvidia 310.14 driver.
