Particle emission with Rate Over Distance does not work when moving it in LateUpdate() method
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open user's attached project
2. Open scene "Main"
3. Play the scene
Expected result: As the gameobject with Particle system attached is moving, the emitter with Rate Over Distance emits particles
Actual result: No particles are emitted when moving the gameobject in LateUpdate()

Not reproduced on: 5.6.4p2, 2017.1.2p2, 2017.2.0a4
Regression since 2017.2.0b1

Reproduced this issue in 2018.4.26. Worth noting is that a workaround seems to be setting the emission parameters before moving the transform, even if they haven't changed. The Unity example for rate over distance actually does this which may be hiding the issue.
void LateUpdate()
{
ParticleSystem.EmissionModule emission = ps.emission;
emission.rateOverDistance = emission.rateOverDistance;
transform.position = newPosition;
}

Also still having this issue - Unity 2020.1.1f1. Particle System using Emitter Velocity: Transform and its parent gameObject's position being set on LateUpdate(). When using Update() it works fine

Yes, it's not working in the editor - not even in the Particle System Editor window :(
