There is a bug in mc where particles that are actually in front of water are rendered behind it, and this affects all particles in general, here is an example:
Vanilla torches with this problem:
Same problem with particles from the other mod:
My suggestion is to fix the rendering order of particles and water
P.S: my friend say that this problem is even mentioned somewhere in the mc source code, don't know for sure
Edit1: It seems that this problem does not exist in 1.6.4:
