So if in your new scene the particle ID is not the same ( for a mysterious
reason in your case ) the instanced objects can't be the same.
I've got the feeling that there is a bug when you export a model with some
clouds. sometime it breaks the ptypes, sometime not.
The best thing is to stay away from this particle system !
