How does that happen? Doesn't seem to me that muxers should do this.

Otherwise, I'm not a big fan of your patch since it adds yet more
overloading to ost->finished, which I'd like to remove actually. Not to
mention you manipulate it from the muxer thread, which is a race.
IMO this should be done without any context variables.
