I've just noticed this in my Maya 2009 scene file. The particle instanced geometry is a frame behind the particle position. Has this always been the case? I've never had a problem with particle instancing before. I need to have this work because I'm also emitting a stream of particles and the instanced geometry and the stream don't line up.
Any ideas o workarounds?

Does that happen if you make a simple set-up in a fresh scene?
I just tried and the instances are in the right place.
As a workaround, to get the instances closer, you could create an advancePosition attribute and set it to position + (velocity * sceneTimeStepSize)
Problem solved. In the heat of deliveries, I inherited a file and didn’t have the time to dig through it. But in the end, I had to invest the time because everything works as it should in a clean scene. What it boiled down to was the previous artist had scaled the instancer node!
