Sure, developers do all this in their spare time. And if it's not an
enormously important bug (their are likely more important ones!), it
might not get prioritized.

mkvtoolnix and the mkv tools can probably do that. If it's okay for
ffmpeg to remux, you can do:
$ ffmpeg -i "BigBa906 - The Helium Insufficiency.mkv" -map 0 -c copy -t 5 "BigBa906 - The Helium Insufficiency.short.mkv"

If the resulting file still exposes the original issue for you, please
present the short one. Too late for this one. BUT that said:

But this file shows me:
Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'BigBa906 - The Helium Insufficiency.mkv':
  Metadata:
    encoder         : libebml v1.3.1 + libmatroska v1.4.2
    creation_time   : 2015-10-29 01:22:49
  Duration: 00:19:07.57, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 2815 kb/s
    Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1916x1076 [SAR 1:1 DAR 479:269], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 2k tbc (default)
    Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), fltp, 384 kb/s (default)
    Stream #0:2(eng): Subtitle: subrip

so I have no idea how to reproduce the issue of still images getting
converted instead of copied. (I don't want to construct my own input
file, at the risk of the format being slightly different.)
