For me, the command works as expected, only the message is misleading..
For example, let mplayer play the file til endpos 00:00:05, you'll get
both five seconds of video and the .. message. So imo it's not a bug,
because it works. Of course, it is not really perfect either..

Just an observation: If you append the file name after -endpos, the error
message disappears..
