Poking around some more on this I found out a few interesting facts:

1. specifying -ofps 24000/1001 caused the audio to out of sync behind 
the video instead of in front of it
2. specifying -ofps 30000/1001 caused the audio to be very much behind 
the video
3. Benchmarking the video without audio (-nosound) did not result in 
errors although allowing the video gave a VC% of about 52% while -vo 
null gave a VC% of about 92% -- I don't know if that's usual or expected
4. Playing the video does not produce any significant errors (just a 
couple changes from soft telecine (24000/1) to hard telecine 
(30000/1001) and back
5. I tried doing a normal transcoding (instead of -oac copy and -ovc 
copy) and the audio delay was still there (though the video quality was 
considerably lower) and with the same amount of delay
6. There was nothing special in the encoding log that I haven't already 
mentioned even when I let it complete.

Any other ideas you guys might have is appreciated.  This is truly 
baffling to me.
