Montionblur broken on vrmesh in batch render

In addition to my issue logged here:
https://forums.chaosgroup.com/showthread.php?93382-Can-t-get-curved-motionblur-on-Houdini-abc-particles-in-vrmesh-node

When I render the same sparks scenes on our renderfarm with Maya batch the motion blur is broken (same behaviour when rendering locally with the ‘Render’-->‘Batch Render’ option):
- With abc geometry piped into the vrmesh loader, I no longer get any non-linear motion blur - just straight lines
- With abc particles piped into the vrmesh loader I get what looks like no motion blur at all

So for now it seems the only way we can get proper subframe motion blur is by converting our particles to geometry and rendering them in the interactive Maya session, which is very limiting.

I’ve attached the same alembic files here that I posted in the other thead:
