You've spotted an overlooked problem
I'm grateful that you managed to track down the original publication by Müller. I'm a Commissioner of the ICZN, so the existence of an original spelling that differs from the spelling reported for that work is a concern. GBIF, IRMNG, and other resources that are supposed to be definitive clearly have gotten this wrong. That being said: under ICZN Article 33.2.3.1, even an unjustified emendation of Müller's original name is to be preserved as the correct original spelling, so long as it is in prevailing usage, which is clearly the case for the "Paramecium" spelling variant. This creates an odd technicality that may be difficult to explain to readers of the Wikipedia article. That is, under the ICZN, the spelling as "Paramaecium" was a misspelling by Müller, but at the same time, Müller is credited as the author of the "Paramecium" spelling, even if he did not actually use that spelling. To quote the Article in the Code: "33.2.3.1. when an unjustified emendation is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the original author and date it is deemed to be a justified emendation. Example. Because Helophorus, an unjustified emendation by Illiger (1801) of Elophorus Fabricius, 1775, is in prevailing use in the Coleoptera and attributed to Fabricius, it is deemed to be a justified emendation; the name Helophorus Fabricius, 1775 is to be maintained as the correct spelling."

The bottom line is that the original spelling is effectively irrelevant - though it is a problem that GBIF and other sources do not cite it correctly. I will contact the other Commissioners about this case, and also try to contact the people at GBIF, at least, to ensure that the information online is accurate.

 * Hi User:Dyanega. As I understand it, Hill's name is nomenclaturally invalid (though of some historic interest), since it precedes the Linnaean "year zero" (1758). John Corliss mentions this in a paper from 1962, pointing out that the correct authority should be O.F.M., 1773.  In a note, he addresses O.F.M.'s original spelling: "Müller actually spelled this generic name Paramaecium, but there has been quite general and widespread  agreement for many years among taxonomic  protozoologists, from  Ehrenberg onward, that the “ae” be  reduced to 'e.'"  So, assuming Corliss is right, it does seem that Müller is the proper authority for the genus, despite Hill's apparent priority and despite the later emendation of Müller's spelling.
