also note, that as soon as you export the AVCodecTag tables from the muxer
the following code in ffmpeg.c should provide some slight protection against
the use of unsupported codec_tags with stream copy

if(!codec->codec_tag){
    if(   !os->oformat->codec_tag
        || av_codec_get_id (os->oformat->codec_tag, icodec->codec_tag) > 0
        || av_codec_get_tag(os->oformat->codec_tag, icodec->codec_id) <= 0)
        codec->codec_tag = icodec->codec_tag;
}
