well, try to recompile libav* or just the involved files (mpegvideo_mmx*) with 
-O1 and post the gdb output from

bt
disass $pc-32 $pc+32
info all-registers

also try a make distclean if you didnt already though it probably wont help 
and ensure that all images you pass into libav are aligned at 16 byte 
boundaries
