Comment (by Gyan):

 abf669479 is the proximate source of the error, but the root cause is
 1c2e07b8111b24f62b8d1bda62907848e34dfbcb

 The esds box for this track has a tag for MP4DecSpecificDescrTag but the
 length is 0. The commit I referenced stopped allowing that.

 However, 14496-3 (2009) 9.D.2.2 says,

   No decSpecificInfo is defined for MPEG-1 Audio or MPEG-2 Audio, i.e. in
 the case of DecoderConfigDescriptor.objectTypeIndication values that refer
 to streams complying with   ISO/IEC 11172-3 (MPEG-1 Audio) and ISO/IEC
 13818-3 (MPEG-2 Audio). In these cases audio  decoders receive all
 relevant information in the ‘header()’ element of their own bitstream and
 can forward the composition memory format to the composition memory. Thus,
 changes in the output format need to be dealt with dynamically, i.e.
 without an elementary stream descriptor update.

 So, an exception needs to be added for MPEG-1/2 audio streams. Not sure if
 MPEG-2 AAC should be included.
