It is the current behaviour. If it's normal is another question :)

Yes, but you have to split up the particle system. One part must be
connected to the thing that you are moving around and another part must
be connected to some static point as far as I remember.
Look at the osgparticleeffects example around the line
if (handleMovingModels)
there is some explanation.
I also attach some code that I use when I load a model possibly
containing a particle system. The visitor finds the particle system that
you can then remove from the loaded model and attach to the root (or
where you find appropriate).
