(replace "Part" with the name of your part, and "Body" with the name of your body)
Thanks!! This tip saves my day - until the fix is in place (maybe this one? issue #2835)
I started used FreeCAD 0.16 for some work and was disappointed with its lack of proper part structuring and relative positioning, making complex models a frustrating experience. Reading about PartDesignNext made me try out 0.17 in the Ubuntu daily PPA. I must say introduction of Body and Part is a huge improvement! ... However with the important detail that I couldn't restructure until I read this tip.
Now I must try to google if it is possible to somehow clone Parts - then I can make simple assemblies

I still need the Python hack in order to move a feature (i.e. a Fillet or a Revolution) under a Part.
Moving a Body into a Part works fine for me (you were resurrecting a very old post where PartDesign was still in its early days).
I suppose you have a different problem that stems from mixing objects from the Part and PartDesign workbenches.
