That would be very kind of you. I can recommend some keyloggers, but
ask you to do the math for getting the average.

I stepped through both the input video (downloaded using youtube-dl
with your command) and "output.mp4" in two ways:
- mplayer and the '.' key;
- dumping frames to images using ffmpeg and "vsync -0" (I hope that's
  correct for dumping exactly one output frame for every input frame).

I both cases, the transitions look identical, frame by frame.

Sometimes, the answer can already be in the log (see my other answer).
Admitted, not here.

I'm happy just shutting my mouth and letting unresolved problems stay
unresolved.

That is of course a quite valid issue, be it a bug or just incorrect
use of ffmpeg.
