I can confirm this fixes those samples and a host of others.

IIUC your ideal fix involves adding 8 bit palette support to libswscale.
Replacing imgformat with libswscale requires libswscale to be on par
feature-wise, otherwise this will never move forward.  The GPL vs LGPL
still remains, but it's a separate issue.

The last time this subject came up you said you would implement 8 bit
palette support if there was no other volunteer.  I don't see any other
volunteer ;-p
