Since the latest patch split beam rifles or the phaser rifles of security escorts fire the beam core at one part of the enemy and the orange hazy bloom at another. Ticket number #953599.
I am having this problem too, but it is not just the split beam rifle. I use the stun hand phaser and get the same effect. I posted pics of it in my thread, but got no replies so I'll go ahead and post them here too.
Its the best to report it also ingame with the ingame bug report.
I did, the ticket number is in my post. Unfortunately I reported it as an item bug instead of a graphics bug because I thought it was only an issue with the split beam rifle.

Post Patch 2.1 I've noticed all ground phasers appear to split. The split looks as if one beam is the animation, and the other beam is the effect behind the animation. It seems the two beams choose different points on the target.
This is so distracting, and it completely breaks immersion for me. Call me crazy for liking my phasers, but nearly all my BO's carry Phasers. All Phaser weapons that were purchased with Explore Badges, Valor, or Emblems.

Just thought that I would drop by to say it looks like this is fixed now. It must have been on tribble only up until yesterdays patch. Haven't seen it at all in the last two days. Thanks.

I wonder what they wanted to change to cause this kind of bug.
Oh, that look terrible!

I've also noticed that sometimes the enemy's health goes down before the bolt or beam even reaches the enemy =\
I'm still having it and the split beam misses the overlay color completely making it a bright beam.
I use a GTX275 with the latest NVidia drivers.
I just saw it yesterday. Using split beam rifles.
I'm still seeing it as well.
