%%%Windows XP, Nvidia 9800M GS
Blender 2.65

There does not appear to be a way to dynamically create duplicated smoke particle systems. Both workflows are broken and both need to be supported. The dupligroup/verts/curve is of higher priority as it is more flexible.

Objects duplicated with dupligroup/vert are not created as smoke flows.

Particle systems duplicated with mirror modifier do not have their emission perform properly. The particles are emitted from one of the objects.

You can find the blend file illustrating this error here:

%%%We know that our particle system has limits... and our duplicator system has limits as well.
Both are quite ancient parts of the code and urgently need upgrade.

We collect the issues in our wiki to be used as reference for when a grand recode will happen:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Tools#Particles

Unfortunately no developer is working on this now. It's related to many other issues in Blender, for which we need to allocate several work-years of time.
The purpose is to start with it this year, but we still don't have enough resources for it. And if you see the amount of issues in this tracker, there's plenty of problems to work on too.%%%
