I am afraid your file is simply corrupt. In this case, indeed, each decoder has its own strategy.
Here, the format is that broken (a PNG header with an mpegts content), that you can't reasonably expect things to go on smoothly.
The standard mechanism in ffmpeg is such a case is to force the input format (mpegts is byte-seekable with sync words all along) - if you know what your are doing, this is a possibility:
ffmpeg -f mpegts -I 001.ts

If you think your file is valid and wants your ticket to be processed, you may need to give some references either to some standards or just simply describe how you get this file: how to (re)produce it.
