You are usually asked to provide the actual ffmpeg command line and the
complete, uncut console output.

Does ffmpeg continue to (try to) encode after the corrupt packet
("continuity check")?

If I read ffmpeg's source correctly, you could try to set
  -fflags +discardcorrupt
as an output option. ffmpeg should then drop this packet. I'm not sure
you will get a better result though. Do give it a try.
