-vcodec copy and -sameq are not compatible options.  In your case,
-sameq is likely being ignored.

You could have compiled FFmpeg SVN by the time you wrote this message:

This mailing list is for FFmpeg SVN development. Distro FFmpeg packages
are more appropriate for the ffmpeg-user mailing list. If you believe
this is a bug with FFmpeg you should test with FFmpeg SVN as well, but
since you lack the time, you can report it to the Ubuntu bug tracker
instead:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg

...and yes, always provide a sample.
