no, if AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL is set a AVParser will be used to pack and
split things.
You can simply test this, just write the bitstream by simply concatenation
into a file with fwrite() ...
if it cannot be played back without similar errors then most likely it is
not a valid h263 stream and you forgot something (like to fix up the first
or last few bits that IIRC H263 RTP shuffles around)

That of course doesnt mean that i suggest to not build complete frames
if doing so has some advanatge ...

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
