While I'm happy to try to reproduce your problem and ask smart
questions, let me please point out:

This version of ffmpeg is extremely old, considering the amount of
development happening. Especially with such a "new" codec as HEVC, you
can expect many improvements over 18 months. And if ffmpeg
happens/happened to have a bug, it may very well have been fixed in the
meantime. Nobody here will help trying to identify a bug in such an old
version.

Please repeat your tests with a very recent version of ffmpeg, best is
if you build if from git HEAD.

Thanks,
Gruß,
Moritz
