Okay, this is what I found out:

The main branch ffmpeg stopped working in this scenario with
commit 0b9a69f  (a8e6d4d still worked fine).
  ffmpeg -i x.mkv -map 0 -c copy -y /tmp/x.mkv

The other branch avconv (the one with the obsolete ffmpeg) had already
stopped working before, in commit 2a651b7  (51aeb69 still worked fine).
  avconv -i x.mkv -map 0 -c copy -y /tmp/x.mkv

It really seems to happen with every MKV that has an h264 or vc1 stream in
it. If you still need a sample file, let me know.

The error always is: Application provided invalid, non monotonically
increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: .....
