This seems incorrect but it doesn't matter for your 
report (FFmpeg should of course not drop all frames 
because of a reception problem in the middle of the 
stream).

Completely unrelated:
Quite a few people think that it is a very bad idea 
to run ffmpeg as root.

This looks old...

I tested your command line with your sample and n.1.0.7 
and it works fine here.
Is the problem also reproducible with current git head?
Is the problem also reproducible with -an?
Is the problem reproducible without an external 
library, ie using -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec mp2 instead 
of x264 and libfdk?

Please do not top-post here.
