What I've else noticed today is that:

- if you demux the video and segment it with '-f segment' with output
format .h264;
- concatenate all h264s to a single h264;
- mux h264 with audio back to mp4 file

despite couple of errors during concatenation, everything works
smoothly and as it should. This makes me draw a conclusion that there
is some kind of a bug in segmenting (or concatenating) mp4 containers.

The output was a bit big, so I put it on gist:
