[Shuriken] Particles get stuck in a short loop when reflected in a reflection probe from off-screen

Shuriken

-

When the bounding box of a particle system gets off-screen, the particles appear to be looping a few frames in the reflection probe's reflection.

Repro steps:
1. Open scene "1" from the attached project.
2. Press play and observe how the cube particles are looping.
3. Select the camera and move it back a bit. Observe how the particles start reflecting correctly.

Expected: ideally, the particles should continue to animate even when off-screen if they are affected by a reflection probe.

Notes:
- this is an interesting bug - I expected the particles to either disappear or just freeze when off-screen. Having a short loop is arguably better in some scenarios than them freezing or disappearing, though the real fix should probably be for particles to be always animating when reflected.
- tried for regressions in 5.3.1.f1 and behaviour is still present. It can be hard to notice at times, but becomes more apparent when particles have random rotation or scale.
