I do not see the spikes happen here, but saw them definitely:

The blue text at the bottom shows the encoder.

Source: Canon HF M306 50i PAFF interlaced file, encoded twice. One of my
most troublesome files...

https://sessiondatabase.net/jwplayer shows an encoded version (with wide
angle lens and all).

More reason to get the master sources and compile them. I will report
back later.
