Indeed, there's code in there to show the given/used options (shown
with "-loglevel debug"), but right afterwards, the band gets applied to
x, y, width, and height:

    s->w += s->band*2;
    s->h += s->band*2;
    s->x -= s->band;
    s->y -= s->band;

Then these new values of x, y, w, h and band get checked and lead to
error. Whether that was the intention or not, I'm not sure. It is just
totally unclear from the documentation.

No, it should work (the deprecation message is just a warning that the
option will go away), but the programmer thought that band=0 would be
as if the band option wasn't given, and chooses the default = 1. D'uh!

Code says:
>    /* Actual default value for band/t is 1, set in init */
>    { "band", "set delogo area band size", OFFSET(band), AV_OPT_TYPE_INT, { .i64 =  0 },  0, INT_MAX, FLAGS },

instead of just setting the default to 1 and letting the user override
it. We're lucky that this code is going away eventually. ;-)
