Are you sure that for all valid hevc streams this flag will 
ever be set?
(This is not true for h264 where valid streams do not 
necessarily contain an I-frame.)

Does this flag really have any relevance?
(I don't mean for hevc streams but in the general case:
When is it useful?)

As said, the original problem (corrupt frames from the 
beginning of a cut hevc stream are output) is a missing 
feature of a new decoder, the default behaviour will be 
not to show those frames.
