This is easy to reproduce. Just exchange the plasmaContinous
particle effect in ptl_weaponsfx.ufo with tachyonMiniBall
and lots of balls will hand in mid-air. It is dependent on
speed ("speed" in the weapon script files). With speed 0
many particles remain. With speed 800 rarely any remains...

I think to fix that it's enough to add
tps 25
and
think { kill }
to tachyon particles.

I'll try that in my next patch, shortly.

Nope, I was wrong about reproducing. And the fix is probably
to add "think { kill }" to tachyonImpact particles. This is
currenlty in trunk. Please verify that the bug is gone...

If the particles stays not forever, but only for some time,
then this may be not fixed already. I guess this is caused
by aliens firing at already dead soldiers/civilians. Then
the shots take very long and seem to stay on the map.

What I said below is true at least for plasma Continous Beam
in current SVN trunk.

It's still there in RC4, I think.
