I find that very unlikely, x264 is an extensively tested library and the bug
you describe does not seem subtle.

It looks like a threading issue to me, in fact: application replacing the
frame data with the next frame while x264 is still accessing it. Since the
FFV1 encoder does not do frame threading, it would not trigger the issue.
