Comment (by Atarikid):

 Sorry to say but the issue remains.

 When using the following command line, FFmpeg still gives the same issue.
 This IS a bug.

 ffmpeg -i /Volumes/Data/Movies/Gaming.mp4 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -strict
 experimental -async 1 -c:v libx264 -b:v 2416k -bt 171k -bufsize 966.4k -r
 29.97 -s 640x360 -aspect 640:360 -trellis 1 -coder ac -subq 7 -me_range 16
 -i_qfactor 0.71 -bf 3 -b_strategy 1 -refs 3 -partitions
 partb8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+parti8x8 -flags +loop -me_method hex -direct-
 pred 1 -rc_lookahead 40 -g 240 -qmin 3 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 -weightb 1
