It also happens with static particle life, only to a lesser extent. How do other people deal with this problem? Do you just not use the particle system? Or only with additive or subtractive blending, where drawing order doesn't matter? Or do you only use 1-coloured particles? Or does the flicker not bother you?

All the particle systems I've used have used alpha blending - or premultiplied, which lets you seamlessly transition between alpha and premultiplied blending if you're clever. :) Regular alpha blending is still useful though. We're definitely going to fix this for 0.9.0.
