I absolutely may miss something, but to keep A/V-sync, it is not 
unusual to drop or duplicate frames (it is actually the default 
behaviour). This of course never happens with -an (no audio, no 
A/V sync to take care of). So depending on your input sample 
(and the chosen output container), -pass 1 -an vs -pass 2 
-acodec ... may lead to a different number of frames and that 
definitely hurts the rate-control badly.
