I FINALLY figured out how to make motion blur work with the particle volume shader. Here's the trick for anyone who might be interested:

1) Cache Particles - this is in the documentation

2) Turn OFF scanline for primary rays! (Raytrace ONLY) - this is what I was missing and doesn't seem to be in the documentation.

Now it works perfectly and fairly fast.

far as I know motion blur does NOT work on volumetric particles.
What does work with the particle volume shader, is aligning the
particles along their velocity, and making them soft streaks which is
going to give you something very similar to motion blur. You have to
dig into the compound for this - I think it’s all in the particle
shaper. Might that be what you had in mind?

Hi chaps,
it's been ages (years) since I've used mental ray, but I clearly
remember rendering ice particles with the mental ray volume renderer
and motion blur. It was very slow but it worked.
Now I have to do something similar again, I can't for the life of me
get it to work, the cloud is cached and motion blur works as expected
with a phong but not a volume render. MB set to end on frame. The
camera is static. Anybody remember a specific hoop that needs to be
jumped through?
cheers,
Andi
