I see the same thing in the latest SVN snapshot, but I just
discovered that the problem isn't necessarily in FFmpeg.

I had some old clips encoded in exactly the same way (identical
encoding parameters), except using different mencoder and x264
snapshots.  Those old mixed resolution clips work fine with
libavcodec, no errors in valgrind.  I don't know if the problem is
that libavcodec doesn't properly parse the streams produced by the
newer tools, or if the streams themselves are broken.

I will investigate this further, and post the results here when I
know more.
