It is generally not lossless (I believe with j2k, there 
may be an exception but it is not relevant here).

What does "near lossless" mean?
-qp 0 means lossless encoding, if it is not lossless 
this would be a (serious) but that has to be reported 
here if it is a decoding bug and to x264 if it is an 
encoding bug.

The reason I originally didn't answer was this sentence:

This is expected and it seemed to me as if you had 
already solved the problem, so I didn't know what to reply.
