System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.4.0-88-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 460.91.03

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.0.0 Beta, branch: master, commit date: 2021-10-27 22:07, hash: b838eaf2b9, 2.93.6
Worked: 2.83.19

Short description of error
Alembic with a hair system on it with motion blur enabled flickers on render. No options, reexporting, triangulation (it's already triangulated), pc2 or mdd can help. I tried every possible solution. Please notice that it happens even without children hair. It works correctly in 2.83.19 though, so it's a huge regression.
Growing hair on alembic is a common practice in heterogeneous software environment and I have to fall back to 2.83.19 for our project because of this issue.

I can't reproduce this using latest master. Can you try with the latest daily build? https://builder.blender.org/download/
It should be noted that I rendered the animation on the CPU and this might be an Nvidea GPU only thing. Can you try different compute backends? Does CPU suffer from the same issue? What about CUDA and OPTIX?

You are correct only GPU (Cuda) affected. Cpu runs smoothly. By the way, looks like it's the same issue as #95305 and it's not related to alembic.

@YegorSmirnov If it is the case, then we can merge those two reports.
