Comment (by reimar):

 This is probably caused by libavfilter. The (vsrc)buffer filter seems to
 need a pixfmt from the start.
 However the filters are created before the decoder is actually opened.
 So it is completely reliant on the probe filling in the pix_fmt.
 However since this file is non-interleaved and FFmpeg detects this too
 late, the probe never gets any video data, thus does not open the decoder
 and thus the pix_fmt is not filled in.
 This seems all rather silly though: it is quite silly that it is not tried
 to open the decoder during probe even if no data is available, as is
 opening the decoder only after the filter has been set up.
