(where?)

This would indicate that:
There is no bug in the Prores decoder
There is no bug in the colour space conversion
There is no bug in the h264 encoder (that is not part of FFmpeg)

(I am not saying there are no bugs, this is just what your writing indicates)

But you cannot do "the same" for h,265: Just as libx264, libopen264
and the gpu driver
are not part of FFmpeg, there is also no h265 encoder within FFmpeg.
There is also no reason to assume that certain options that have the
same name for
x264 and x265 work exactly the same (even less so if you use other encoders).

Try exporting a rawvideo file and use it as input to x264 and x265
(the command line
utilities) to verify that for your sample, x264 works better than x265.
(Or the encoders you use)

If you need further support here, please provide the command line you tested
together with the complete, uncut console output.
