Comment:
It does not appear "out of nowhere", it appears because the source file
contained chapters and ffmpeg by default tries to preserve them. That it
appears as a subtitle stream is an oddity of mp4, where chapters and
subtitles are muxed similarly. But a proper player can distinguish between
them, as ffmpeg/ffprobe do: They show it as data stream (notice the
"Data:"), not as subtitle.
If your mp4 player got confused by this, you can disable copying of
chapters with -map_chapters -1.
